St Mary's Passage

taken some time in 2004 - not sure of date

How pink the petals that fell on your head
And I was transfixed by your cheeks glowing red
Down a back alleyway on the twist and the turn
In the City of Oxford where people do learn.

My cheeks glowed red with embarrassment
To be down an alley with such a weird gent,
For, whatever else you might have meant,
You do do the twist with a very strange bent.

Nice picture. It show how much potential there is for photography even under overcast conditions, especially with digital cameras which give a bright and crisp image regardless.

Re. crisp, try cooking "oven" chips in a frying pan. The packet tells you do how to do then so they'll be crisp and dry, "the way you like them" [sic]. It so happens that I HATE chips that are hard and dry, but by frying (but not overdoing) them, even in healthy vegetable oil, they should come out reasonably moist and taste of something other than cardboard.

If you like moist chips, get yourself an electric chip frier.
But what's that got to do with Oxford?
