"The data brought to us by the Bothan spies pinpoints the exact location of the Emperor's new battle station. We also know that the weapon systems of this Death Star are not yet operational. With the Imperial Fleet spread throughout the galaxy in a vain effort to engage us, it is relatively unprotected. But most important of all, we've learned that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the final stages of the construction of this Death Star. On another note there are a lot of leaves in this briefing room – somehow – so we'll be having a bit of a sweep up afterwards; any help gratefully accepted.

Admiral Ackbar: nice to see you back from your paranoia counselling course. Over to you." Google+: View post on...

Then you may wear sandals. And only then." Google+: View post on...

I don't have any time this evening to go through any of the street shots from the past couple of days but figured I did have just enough time to put up a nature-based shot taken last week that has received quite a bit of positive attention from people who've seen it; that's what happens when your target demographic fills the important niche of Turned On By Creepy Crawly Behinds.

Captive Audience

She played the guitar all lunchtime. She played jazz. It might have been several songs or it might have been one really long one with a few pauses for missing notes. It didn't look as if her efforts were appreciated too much by the passersby who gave her a wide berth; the important thing was that she was happy. Or sad. Or indifferent. No, the important thing was that she was in whatever mood best suited her jazz music song. Or songs. I don't get jazz.
