Only half as horny as he was, but seems happy with it.

You've seen this before (APForum) - but pure joy really.

That was a great day!  Thank goodness that, back in the day (this was 2012),  I only had small (probably 16 + 8 GB) memory cards in the camera.  If I'd had my Fuji (64 + 32 GB) I'd never ever have sorted them out.  

The Zinneke parade is held every 2 years in Brussels. It was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid but 2022 went ahead and there should be one next year.

On the music front.  This gentleman is internalising his personal joy and adopting manifestly serious air.

Christmas 2018, the queue to buy pre ordered turkey and other meat at William Rose butcher, East Dulwich. This happens every year and is quite the local tradition to the extent that people complain that they had to spend over a hour waiting at the butchers and the turkey was over a hundred pounds. My slightly drunk response - Well if you will go to William Rose what do you expect?

I thought William Rose was an old photography and developing shop.

This is our William Rose www.williamrosebutchers.co.uk/  though Rose is a Germanic / Jewish sir name and just looking at the derivation also son of Ross in Scotland. Over time I guess there have been many William Rose businesses, where were the photographic shops perhaps originally they were chemists?

Looking at the exif this was taken just before mid day on the 24th Dec. 2018, on the way back home to commence our Austrian style Christmas celebrations which begin late afternoon on Christmas eve.
