Beautiful Sunday at Thames Barrier

Initially I refused to join my girl for her church anniversary. But since my friends were coming to pick me from the campus, I had to go along.

a group of singers for the church service
my girl loved singing but I just enjoyed taking photos

Not long after, my friends reached and they took me to Greenwich for lunch. We went to SaiKei for dim sum.
quite delicious too as they were warm

After lunch, we went to view the Thames Barrier..
parking fee was needed
I just knew about the story at that time
see how unique the design
they neatly lined up
a shot from behind as we were curious to find out

Later my friends sent me back. My girl was already famished waiting for me.

We went for our dinner at Galleria which was the nearest eatery.

The next day, ie a Monday, we stayed in Hatfield itself before we got ready for the big day on the Tuesday.

    I have seen the Thames Barrier on TV's documentary few times. I must say that it was a remarkable and impressive structure that even attracted the China's govt to study and address the floodings over the basins along Yangtze Kiang river.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
