Listening to my neighbour banging nails in to the wall, again!!!! Don't usually mind, but he was at it until 22:00pm last night. Annoyed the fucking shit out of me, as I have to be up at 04:00 for work!!!

Hiroshima, the land of the Rising Sun. Such a beautiful city to visit, but you must remember its tragic history, and the part it played in ushering in the Atomic age into our world. The tragic events that happened here must never be forgotten, and be remembered for all time. Luckily, this ( and Nagasaki) are the only times that an Atomic weapon as ever been used in anger, and especially against a civilian population, as Hiroshima had no military value whatsoever to either the Japanese war machine, or to the American invading forces. This was just a show, to show who was the biggest, badass kid on the block!!! WARNING; SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND SOME OF THE IMAGES DISTURBING, and for that i apologise beforehand. This is the view from my bedroom window when i woke up, and no, its not the Radioactive glow of Hiroshima............................ [/size] The Children's museum........................... These are the clothes of a young school girl, worn at the time of the explosion....................... Its good to know that Japanese school kids are taking a great interest in what happen here 70 years ago. These kids were everywhere today, and in there 1000's.................................. [/size] Now, i don't know if you can see this clearly enough, but you should be able to see a dark "stain" on the step. This is believed to be the "shadow" of a person that was sat on the step waiting for the bank to open, at the time of the explosion. He was vapourised instantly!!!........................... So hot that roof tiles started to melt!!!...................................... A still radioactive piece of material, that the museum let you play with.................................. This is the actual "black rain" that came down after the explosion............................ A human tongue, with black spots. A cause created by the radiation........................[/size] A thousand paper cranes created by a young girl called Sadako Sasaki. Its a very moving story. Legend has it if she made 1000 paper cranes she would be granted a wish, and she wished to live. Unfortunately, that never happen, and she has now become a legend for the rights of children and for peace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Sasaki This is the group of children, who, shortly after this photo was taken, all lined up in single file, and said hello to me, and every single one of them "high 5" me as they walked past. The teacher was very apologetic for that, but i said it was fine. I really enjoyed that moment with the kids............................. This is the shrine to Sadako Sasaki...........................................

There's a Royal Marine Brass band playing in a church in Richmond today, and thinking of popping along and seeing it. Not quite sure where the church is though!!!

@eyes4thais Is the P20 any good?

Always had a good time here, and its always good to have a chat and catch up with young Philip. Also does a mean Piri Piri Chicken burger, especially if you get it with extra sauce dripping all over it!

Think I can hear flight of the Valkyries in the background.
