This is Saint Paul's Cathedral, in the heart of London. It's also the view from one of the buildings that I go to on a weekly basis.
It's a lovely view, but perhaps not as impressive as this one, which I pass everytime I walk to work from Waterloo Station, which I like to do.
You can see why I love it so much-the London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben. Overwhelming, and the day I stop appreciating it is the day I know I'll need to leave. But it still knocks me off my feet every time I see it.
And this is the inside of Waterloo, a station which I think is actually quite nice. Wanna' take a train to Paris? Brussels? Whitney Houston? This is the place.
This is our local train station, the one that takes me to home. See the figure at the end of the platform? Yup, that's my boy, waiting to pick me up.
And this is the front of our beloved house. The door that's open? That leads into the living room. Notice the new satellite dish? Oh yeah. I'm in heaven.
This is the living room, with the iron stove and the bright light that sneaks in through the windows.
And these are my two prides and joys-Mr. Y, and our plasma TV. Here is Mr. Y installing what he calls our "big fuck-off" surround sound.
This is our (thus far) empty dining room. It has a gorgeous fireplace and original cabinet in the corner, and you can see a bit of the hardwood floors that I love so much.
This is the kitchen, back door open to the back garden, where we have a table and chairs, lots of herbs and flowers, and a line that I use to dry our clothes outside. Nothing smells so lovely as crisp clothes that have been dried in the sun, I just love it.
Almost done now. This is the bedroom, complete with the lovely high bed and the sash window that oozes with fresh air.
This is the study and the view out the window. In the window is the suncatcher I have carried with me from Greece, and on the PC a pic from our trip to Scotland.
Finally this is the cricket green in town, where they play cricket on the weekends.
This is my life. It's a small house on a cricket green, a man with big strong arms, and a little slice of happiness for me.

PS-The Best of Me Symphony is up here. Check it out, and say hi to Jim-he just lost his job, and I know how that feels-all the support you can get is essential to trying to keep on going.
