Well, it's done. Olga is off at the kennels and the house seems strangely quiet. It's kind of nice, actually, knowing I don't have to walk her this morning! The parting wasn't hugely dramatic -- she panted in the taxi on the way there, her anxious "What are we doing?" pant, and she followed us with her eyes as we left the kennel office. But I'm sure the minute we closed the door she was on to other things. She'll be moved out to the country near High Wycombe. I told her she was going to "Christmas camp."
I spent yesterday afternoon on photography. I'd planned to work on finishing NW1 and NW3, but as it turns out we got volunteers to do those areas, so I turned my attention back to NW10. I went up to Neasden and finished another 29 streets before I had to skedaddle back home to help drop off Olga.
("You got to laugh to keep from cryin'," as one of my coworkers used to say. It's a phrase that comes in handy.)
Work-wise, yesterday was uneventful. I bought some small gifts for my coworkers on the way to school -- nuts and dried fruit and chocolate gift mixes. I took down the holiday tree and discarded the dog penis chain. (Needless to say, no one ever noticed that. It remains our private joke.)
I'll be back out with the camera again today, hitting a few more NW10 streets before coming home to pack. I'm not a complicated packer!

That is a very attractive house you photographed and I don't know what to say about Nurse Mona.
Safe travels! I hope your flight is pleasant.
Your photographs have such sharp color and sense of immediacy. I feel as though I've had a quick trip to London.
And speaking of trips, have a good flight and a wonderful holiday.
Safe travels!
Have a wonderful vacation. I think Nurse Mona should be a vase.
You kept the Nurse Mona bottle, right? Have fun on your vacay!
Nurse Mona reminds me of these Game of War commercials we keep seeing. I keep telling Mike that a woman would NOT be leading a charge against a troll in that getup, but he reminds me that the game isn't marketed to me anyway... :)
