Hillside Crescent

It does indeed appear that I'm a bit obsessed with black and white at the moment. But then someone else is obsessed with street photography, even though he is supposed to have given it up.

We were on our way from the toy department at John Lewis to a first birthday party in the Hillside/Montgomery Street area. Thereafter we wandered down Easter Road to the supermarket and then finally home. We then had to make a dash over to the south side to position a radiator... sounds a bit odd, I know. And later on we are entertaining a former colleague of mine from a previous university job (we've both moved on). Our sons were best friends at primary school - and now our paths have crossed again. As they do, as life is a village really.

I'm very depressed by what is happening in Ukraine/Crimea, which has so many parallels with what happened in Croatia and Serbia from 1990s onwards. But this time it involves the 'great powers' rather than just a small bully state. Not good; not good.
