I don’t remember what percentage of baked beans in the World are consumed in the UK, but it’s 85% or more. This pigeon is making its contribution to the statistic.

Today there were marches around the world to raise the pressure on the Burmese military to stop arresting/beating/shooting/killing activists and arresting/mistreating monks.

Red headbands were handed out to all. Tanya wore one but I chose to stay impartial. She looked like a native Indian. Someone find her a horse.

This woman seemed to be writing down a basic description of the protest. No idea why.

Dead bird. It must suck to just be dead in the street. Someone will probably step on it.

    Film truly hasn’t died has it: I wish I could get colours as vivid and bold on my DSLR. But I should either stop whining, or sacrifice the weight advantage and get the 40D with that Kelvin colour adjustment, truth be told.
