He is triple vaticinated and that's an unnatural amount of ...
what's it an unnatural amount of Green?
Superlative gifts of modern medicine.
No! that's not what I was after, collaborate or be gone Green.
That many vaccinations messes with your ions, my wifi plays up whenever Ecurb posts, the 1/2 avocado from yesterday is browning more that it should, and a butcher bird looked at my funny.  He needs to be ducked.

They've got an excellent ducking stool at Leominster, I think Tank should arrange something.

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Sorry for browning your avocado, Bad Penny.  Here is the Tower of London. If one of Henry VIII wives browned his avocado, she would be sent here.

Here is the Tower Bridge.  I climbed 206 steps to the top, crossed on the glass walk, and went back down 206 steps. All in the process of walking at least 10 miles, and doing 25 pushups before breakfast.  Not too bad for a 69-year-old codger.

Looking down from the glass walk on the Tower Bridge.  Everything in your body says "don't step on that fucking glass, you idiot!!!!"

Proof I was here.  Or maybe it is photoshopped?  But I'm not savvy enough to do that! But maybe a 5-year-old helped me?  Oh, hell, there is no proof of anything anymore!!

Now for some science.



Part of the original London Wall.  The top is medieval, and the bottom is Roman, 1800 years old.  Archeology Rocks!!

We move to eating and drinking. Had a 12-year-old Glenfiddich here.

Lunch - lobster soup and fish & chips.

Dinner. The Spanish girl at my hotel desk told me in English to eat French, because Soho used to be London's French Quarter.  I obeyed.



Mushroom risotto.



Lamb stew.

The kid took a pix of a fine looking old guy Ecurb.  I do question your judgement about stepping on that fucking glass.  Never trust them damned Brits. Do you suppose that they set glass traps for American tourists?  Keep in mind that they are still mad about losing the war over the American colonies.
