Oh, I think I've seen that safe! Although it was standing upside down when I saw it. No jewels in it then either.

The moon!

The moon!

It's Thursday night and I'm dancing around the moon at the Museum of London Docklands, but I'm thinking about 25 years ago when on a Thursday night, I would have been dancing at the Dungeon.

Today's sightings included a flash of bright blue above the river - a kingfisher! And a flash of bright red - a solar powered postbox!

Listening to extinct bird song and staring up at the giant Fibredog, a folkloric thatched creature, in the rain, at the Frieze sculpture park.

Tonight, a walk in the dark, and I've listened to the River Ravensbourne trickling and the trees rustling, and stood with one foot either side of the Meridian line.

Wandering around Peckham in the rain with a cardboard box on my wrist, listening to gates, manhole covers, walls, drainpipes, plants, after going to a Peckham Digital - Festival of Creative Computing workshop and assembling a "Surface Reader".

Getting up early and walking through the woods and swimming in the lake at sunrise feels like an adventure.

A pottery sherd with an eye and a nose on it, from a Bellarmine jug.  A blue eye that is maybe a stone. A pink eye. (Please note, you need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)

A pottery sherd with an eye and a nose on it, from a Bellarmine jug. A blue eye that is maybe a stone. A pink eye. (Please note, you need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)

Three eyes I recently found on the Thames foreshore:

1. An eye from a bearded man on a Bartmann jug (16th or 17th century stoneware)
2. A pink eye, probably from a toy.
3. A mysterious blue eye, which could be a stone.

A worn metal rectangular thing with "N P Brown" and "Prime" written on it. There are some tiny words under Prime that could say Johnson but they are difficult to make out.

I was there earlier too! But probably left before you got there. Seems I missed many people there by going early.

The Thames must consume a lot of marmalade. Another piece of a Victorian marmalade jar I found on the foreshore. #mudlarking

Thank you! I suspect when it was functional, you could press it and Old Father Thames would jump out from the river to greet you.

The Thames doorbell. A doorbell I found on the Thames foreshore. When you press it, it plays sounds of the Thames, recorded from the foreshore.
