So you all...

... thought I was joking about the winter here? Take a look at the roads which take me to my office.

This is just as I step out of my door. Take a look at the swanky cars to the left. I gotta take a right where this road meets the intersection somewhere in the background.


This is the main road - the road in the foreground (white lines) is what I call a 'parking road' - its a kind of service road, which is used exclusively for parking. Notice the red lines - this means its a has a premium rate for parking - a pound an hour!!! Purple lines are 75p and green is free. But its never free - for parking, that is!!!

And, you remember I told you my desk was almost a corner one, and has a view of Jaipur, the Indian restaurant? Well, this is the view!!! And just in case the fog and the darkness make you gloomy, let me remind you, once in a while, we get some sunshine, and how we wish it lasts!!! Why? Take a look!!!

Notice the red car in the foreground - it is always in the same place. Proof of it is the fact that the two snaps above are spaced weeks apart. There are lots more to come, so stay glued...

Shru, More will follow, but not of the depressing winter.
Goks, sure!!
Marutham, Its either that, or he comes really early to get that spot, day after day after day. Yes, Welcome. :D
The-Think, Indeed it was. Clear days like this are rare in winter, so come sunshine, you can see the RAF fighters crisscrossing the skies on their sorties.

Thinking about the money that 'red car' fellow would be paying as parking charges! :)
