the 154th Boat Race

while we were waiting,
everyone else was too. . .

.
.
it was very rainy and windy -
too much for this brolly:
.

.
then, it was time. . .
under starters orders:
.
.
and as if by magic,
a huge roar went up from the crowd:
.


within seconds the crews were disappearing
around the first bend:

.
which left me trying to work out
where my new roof terrace was amongst this lot:
.

(the tube line runs along to the west of the new house,
so I guess it's somewhere in the middle at the top)

Ohmygosh.....it's that time again?

*sigh*
We saw geese paddlin' around at the pond yesterday.
I was bankin' on the chubby one getting to the shore first.
Wouldn't ya know it didn't turn out that way.

Good thing I'm not a bettin' woman, huh?


What a great rooftop view!
What a discovery with the phone camera!

Where did you take those pictures? Did you watch the boat race from a hot air balloon?

Wow! What a view :)
I love trying to see where things are on the ground when I'm high up.
And so clever you! I've never even attempted to put my phone and the internet together - I don't even know if the phone can do it!
