London Skies without Jet Trails

2010-04-18T00:17:00.000-07:00

Unusual skies are visible over London with no jet airplane trails due to the grounding of all aircraft for safety reasons following the volcanic ash cloud from Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland

There should also be some spectatcular sunsets, once there's a bit of cloud to reflect the colours.

St Pancras Station for Eurostar Deals

2008-11-22T05:44:00.000-08:00

I was at St Pancras Station and it's obvious that Eurostar Deals are making the whole area popular, not just as a terminal for boarding th etrains but for some shopping and refreshment as well.

It was a weekend so its possible that not all these travellers are off to Paris on the Eurostar for business deals but may well be off for a pre christmas break or a spot of Parisian shopping. It won;t be my turn to visit Paris until at least the spring though probably. Last time we went by Eurostar it was just after the new high speed track from St Pancras to Gare du Nord had opened.

Millenium Bridge in the rain

Millenium Bridge in the rain
Originally uploaded by Andyrob

Designed by Sir Norman Foster this sleek, 330m steel footbridge spans the Thames between St Paul's Cathedral in the City and the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside. When it opened in June 2000 it became London’s first new Thames crossing in more than 100 years. Its early years were beset by problems – the most serious of which was the excessive swaying which became a characteristic feature of every crossing. Having identified the source of the problem as “people walking the wrong way” the bridge was finally re-opened to the public in February 2002. It now forms a stunning architectural feature, providing a great access route across the Thames and linking up many of London’s riverside attractions. Also known as:
'The Wobbly Bridge' or 'Blade of Light'.

Walter has started a CEO blog which is exactly the right thing to do. Brilliant. I've already linked to it from my own blogroll and subscribed to the feed, which will be essential reading for all Pajamanation Country Managers.

It's on Google's blogger patform which I must say looks quite smart these days, but it's set so that I can only comment by logging in with a blogger identify. That's why I don't think Google are likely to embrace OpenID very soon unfortunately. They are much too fond of lock-ins.
