ASH Report - Day 6

There's about to be a Fruit and Veg shortage over here in the UK.  Folks are being urged to not purchase more than they can eat themselves (or their family) and not to let what they are able to get go to waste.  This is after all an island, and there are a bunch of things that can't be grown here.  There was a flight that got out of Scotland this morning - a little twin prop plane and all the papers and news stations are carrying the picture like it's the first flight ever. 

Even still, it's all quite civilised over here.  I was at the Tate Modern yesterday and walked across the Millennium bridge back into the City of London, I am about 100 feet from the end of the bridge and we all get stopped by a guard because of a bin (trash can) fire.  There's apparently a gas powered scooter chained to it as well, so things could get interesting.  Nobody is allowed any further and we are all asked to go back across.  Nobody gets a Fire Extinguisher - they just push us all back across the bridge and wait for the LFB - London Fire Brigade to arrive to extinguish the flames.  It's all an interesting sight.  The Tate Modern was fantastic and spent much of my time in there thinking of all the artists that I know...Mary, Bob, AJ, Jesse...

then went and had drinks and fun with a new friend...all in all, a good afternoon!  =)  So, here's a shot of the bin fire - from across the way - natch!
