Love the matchstick Big Ben. Did the young man make that? The architecture in London is one of its many treasures and the Westminster Hall with its hammer beam roof built in the 1300s is a wonder to behold. It is the one building in the Palace of Westminster that survived the fire in 1834. The trial of Charles 1st was held in it in 1649. It’s a pity that it is so difficult to breathe in London these days.

The matchstick Big Ben was already there. This is my grandson. I live in the states, my American daughter is married to a wonderful English gentleman. I visit every year. I took this pic last week. I never get tired of London. Have been many times, but it still takes my breath away.

This isn’t London it’s Honolulu, Hawaii but this gives me an excuse to post a photo I took yesterday when taking a break from driving. I went into the grocery store, Foodland Farms, and I had to laugh because they have a bar inside the grocery store. After drinking a few rounds you’ll probably forget the grocery list. I’m not saying people in Hawaii are big drinkers but…they have this grocery store bar, a bar in Nordstrom’s Department Store and at Whole Foods grocery store the bar is a major sports bar.

I know I couldn’t drink and shop, that’s for sure. I think this is probably here for all the husbands who have to wait on their wives while they shop. Lol, I wouldn’t be surprised. If you notice, most of those sitting at the bar are men.

This might be a modern trend, too. I just go to the grocery store to drink and then I order the groceries on the Uber ride home. That would be the most GenZ thing ever.

Sounds like something the watchtower might try in a kingdom a hall….all profits go to charity - their charity. Magellans on special offer…
