Zali and I went for a walk the other day. We started at Thamesmead, then moved down the Thames past City Airport. Halfway through, we stopped and dug random quotes out of some books we had with us. I took several pictures. Here’s some of them, plus the quotes we found:

‘Here, once again, the machine could be used as a real liberator.’
‘Inside the apartment, Coltrane played ‘My Favourite Things’. Outside, the builders shouted at one another.’
‘As I came through the desert, thus it was.’
