From another world

**Backblip**
Cleopatra's Needle always strikes me as being out of place on the bank of the Thames, poor thing. my lunchtime walk took me over the Thames to gaze back at my workplace (in scaffolding) on the opposite bank.

This evening, Fred and I went to a screening of Alien at the local cinema. I'm pleased to report that I didn't bang my head on a friend's windowsill at the jumpy-outy bit, like I did when I first saw the film at that friend's birthday party. I was sitting underneath the windowsill with my back against the wall, in case you were wondering.
