I was in London yesterday doing the Morph Trail (more on that soon!) and taking photos here, there and everywhere. This one is in the style of - and inspired by - @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ ;various offices in the heart of London.

Quite funny that you @dwfaust and @tizeye have almost the same photo, and on the same day😅

While mine was taken earlier this week, @dwfaust shows the tops of heads in the crowed courtyard. I debated on posting another from the courtyard entry arch that showed the crowd. Incidently, I didn't have reservations to go up to the balcony and other rooms in Juliets house, but reservation is misleading. The sign barely visible in @dwfaust photo had a QR code to log on and pay admission (cheap - 4.50 Euro for Seniors) and simply show the paid receipt to the person at the door with instant admission.

That two timing Juliet always had different Romeo's on the balcony with her and I had to Photoshop them out! OK, we took a photo up there too.

This was Verona Italy, right?

View attachment 2238935 I like this amusing how to buy a soft drink from a vending machine in Japan. This particular one was on a platform on the train you see many of these along Tokyo’s train stations in in the airports among other tourist spots. Five years ago they start popping up.

At least one American tourist jammed these machines up.... by inserting USD nickels and quarters. 😁

On Friday I did the Morph Train in London. For those of you who don't know who or what Morph is; he is a small man made out of plasticine who speaks a strange language and has appeared in a series of British comedy animations dating back to 1977.

There are currently 56 different Morph sculptures dotted around London with 10 mini Morphs to find too. The trail is free to do and is a great way to get some exercise and see London. My children loved it. Here's the first photo (I don't have photos of all 56!) with a few more to come.

Each one has a name and details on it of who created it. At the end of August they will be removed and auctioned with the money going to charity.

And a close up of the information on it:

A few years back we had an elephant one as well, didn’t we? Similar context. I should have some old photos.

While yesterday was a cropped version of Juliet's balcony, from a different angle, this illustrates how crowded it was. Overall, I was amazed at the crowd throughout the old walled city at 10AM...and glad I could find a parking space. Didn't realize required reservations to enter, but "reservation" is loosely defined, meaning instant access rather than calendar slot. QR code on poster at the door to pay online, then show paid receipt on phone to gain access.

.. have been enjoying the colours and arrangments of roses this year - an arrangement from a morning walkabout in our courtyard garden recently.

Is one of them a plasticine porter, with looking glass tie?
