I always wonder why people bother to graffiti canal tunnels... navees are just such pleasant people who abide by the rules (except those who hire those awful white plastic atrocities and have no clue) and the last thing they want to see when travelling through a canal tunnel are some words of wisdom from some 14 year numpty.
I always look out for the homeless spot just as you come off the Motorway coming into London. I've never actually seen anyone occupying the area but there but there are always boxes there where they live. In fact, I heard it was just the one guy who lived there and he's lived there for years. Does anyone know?

oh...and as per your recommendation, I've been able to borrow some Thomas Tallis from a neighbour:
^^ not quite this one, but by the same choir, director, and in the same series...so, thanks for the recommendation... 
while I was at it, I also grabbed this one out of his collection, too:

I have Kronos Quartet doing "Spem in Alium" but of course, there's not choral part to it, which suits me fine! Lee, the M4 into London. As you come off, you pass next to the underpart of the Motorway and that's where the homeless guy lives. I'll see if Google comes up with anything. Oh and yes, I heard Stackridge mentioned on Radio 4 as well and thought of you. You need to bring back the signature again.

Dah! What's the world come too???? Doing my round of the dormitories before lights-out and happened to looked in on the Swade Room to make sure they're not wiping their snotty mits all over the furniture and the like and what do I find??? They're discussing music for pity's sake!! So I run to the sanctity of the Grey Room and they're doing it in here as well - on a Sunday! At this rate we'll get bumped into the PML and we'll have to get all pretentious and pompous and stuff and talk about layering and counterpoint and baroque modulation.
Anyhoo - dragging this room back to more apposite matters - Lopped the top off my Eucalyptus today - me, armed with a Japanese pruning saw, atop a wobbly step-ladder attacking an 15-foot gum-tree... discovered that the smell of eucalyptus attracts cats, either that or they were concerned for my safety... or they were all a little congested today... or high on catmint... or they are really kola's in disguise... I have my suspicions...
Having survive the ladder once, I then pruned my damson tree (pruning the prunus) - proved to be a far more resistant foe and actually fought back - I'm now a mass of scratches and grazes, yet still failed to fall from the ladder, which is a bonus - however, I gave up halfway through due to heat exhaustion and the need for liquid sustenance - so I now own a punk damson, complete with a spikey Mohican.

Enduring image, Dean & a fine way to spend the weekend, very Grey! 
We've had to take a big-decision - Our garden has now been given up on for the year  (been so busy inside the house, the garden's completely overgrown & beyond all but the most serious education/Agent-Orange); we shall just keep the lawn tidy until the end of the growing season, then there will be a skip involved in autumn... everything down to the ground, except those shrubs most loved & start from scratch...
Mind you - our chillies are growing bloody well (first time ever tried to grow them - really easy )

One year we 'gave-up' and just kicked-back and enjoyed the garden over Summer instead of continually weeding, planting and maintaining. The following Spring was hard-work, but worth it.
I'm still picking last years chillies, and started a new crop for this year. Last year's were little orange habaneros, which I love, but are too strong for Alex, so this year's are a (hopefully) less fiery variety and will be used to make chili con carne and gambas pil pil.

This is mine & Vicky's view - we've been busy virtually every weekend we've had free in the last couple of months de-cluttering the house (if I go to the dump recycling centre much more, they'll charge me council tax as a 2nd home), ie the whole of the growing season so far, so although the lawns are OK, all the beds are disaster areas & I'm in danger of losing access to my shed door (it's that bad...).
Maybe I should pick a Saturday in autumn, get in some food & beers & invite everyone round with machetes, bill hooks & scythes for a gardening day to remember!
...that's not a bad idea, actually...

I'm happy to come round and assist with the food and beer from the comfort of a garden chair, but as for the gardening...
Who was it who said "I love work, I could watch it all day"?

I can imagine the look on your neighbours' faces when an army of Grey Roomer's march down your street wielding machetes, bill hooks & scythes...  (baggsie the scythe - Debs has a 'Scottish Widows' style cloak I can borrow for the day  )
We somehow managed to buy yet more garden/patio furniture this weekend - when asked where we're going to put it all, Debs said we need to build an extension... on the shed... now I know why I married her!

this was all my fault... I lead Lee down the slippery path of temptation, I'm afraid..... 
I promise I shall not talk about music again... 
until, in typical 'Grey' fashion, I eventually forget the promise I've just made...
