Plastic Bottles

Today I was on a learning set day and we chose to do it at the Royal Festival Hall, on the South Bank. There are plenty of seats, you can sit there all day and nobody troubles you, there's a coffee bar, and restaurants close by for lunch. All was well until about 4.30 when the facilitator couldn't find her handbag.... it had been stolen - from right under our noses. They told us it happens a lot there, and the security guard said that they do manage to catch some of them, and they often find the bags thrown in a corner during the evening. So, we waited for Sandra to make a police report and cancel her cards and phone account. We gave her some money to get home and off we went.... half way home and I started to feel sick... I hope I haven't got that bug!

This display is outside the festival hall.

What a terrible story Gail!
You have to be very careful all the time wherever you go out. It is the same in Athens too..
I hope that she will find her bag.
This photo has so mysterious light from behind and so beautiful colours!

mmm, looks ok lit up, bet it's a fair bit less impressive when the lights are off tho!
Sounds like an eventful day all-round! Hope you've not got the bug, sounds a bit icky :((

I'm not keen on this festive South Bank art. But I hope Sandra gets sorted and you are right as rain in no time at all!

you can stay away from me if you've got the bug!
at least you'll have something to do though if you're bedridden, you could untangle these lights! ;-)
