Went in to the office for a few hours today, trying to get ahead of what the week holds in store. Today was a weird one – nobody around in the office, me playing my music loud as hell (louder than I would normally play it, even at home). I had my speakers UP, and just cranked away for a…
I got little sleep last night. But this morning, on the walk to the train, the sun was out, the air was crisp, and I had Page France looping on my iPod. I was smiling like an idiot, looking up at the sky and feeling pretty fantastic. The clouds were incredibly unusual this morning – looking a lot like someone…

What first caught my eye was that these birds were perched on the wall itself, literally clinging to the brick.

Four windows.
Roofbeams, flag.
