The heavy drizzle set in as soon as I got out of the \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_foot_tunnel\">Greenwich foot tunnel\u003C/a> onto the north bank. But my head's been very foggy this week and it still felt good to get out. \\r\n\\r\nI snapped a quick photo of one of my all-time favourite buildings, at Phoenix Wharf, near Limehouse. There's something about the texture of the paint on the doors and fittings, combined with the brick, that makes it look smashing. I wish I had a better camera to capture the colour, it has the most lovely glow.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/phoenix_wharf3-d4ec2d392e.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nThis is near St Katherine's Dock, where you can see how \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_London_Bridge\">The Shard\u003C/a> construction is coming along. Actually, you can see The Shard from almost anywhere in London.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/tower_bridge-67020ce986.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI'd been hoping to make a morning sketch along the way; there's a cool-looking rusty old crane and a collapsed piling in Surrey Quays that I really want to draw. But I was so wet that I had to keep moving to stay warm. I'll have to try another time. Here are a few photos from studio lunch break yesterday. Lauren and Ellen at our fave Deptford cafe, \u003Ca href=\"http://panda-panda.co.uk/\">Panda Panda\u003C/a>:\\r\n\u003C!--more Click here for more pics under the cut-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/pandapanda1-11b3e81fba.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nWe walk through \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deptford_Market\">Deptford Market\u003C/a> to get to the cafe, and these signs made us laugh: \u003Ci>Awful! Yay! Triffic! I Can't Believe It!\u003C/i> \\r\nAwful seems to have sold out.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/deptford_market_1-559a684823.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nYou can find \u003Ci>anything\u003C/i> at this market. Here's a rather snazzy-looking Weston single-phase watt meter. We were tempted but couldn't quite decide what we'd do with it.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/deptford_market_2-2137aa3def.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nOkay, and a few more shots where I geek out over Phoenix Wharf:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/phoenix_wharf-9b943f0b38.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/phoenix_wharf2-f4766036f3.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/phoenix_wharf4-33f33a962e.jpg\">","2011-06-16T09:18:00.000Z","rainy-morning-thames-path",[],"rainy morning thames path",1776628720358]
