Having a camera on my smartphone is a terrible temptation to take numerous, miscellaneous images – a temptation I surrender to all the time. Here are some images that didn’t fit any particular theme but which I felt were worth recording – I hope you agree.

There are crews filming at the Barbican on a regular basis and last weekend was no exception. What strikes me, however, are the sheer number of people (and vehicles) involved and what a vast sum of money must be needed to produce a professional result.

Here the tracks are laid but no one has yet shouted ACTION! …

What looks like a small, cosy apartment is being constructed in the Barbican ground floor lobby – I have no idea why …

In Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, an artwork by Adam Faramawy entitled Gradient Fade (2015) …

‘I’ve got my beady eye on you’ …

Rather good, I think …

Highwalk reflection …

Is this the most dangerous door in London? It’s on Long Lane and every time I see it I really, really want to push it, even if it ‘may cause injury’. Would that be why they have ‘Medical oxygen stored inside’ …

Amazing what can be found on roofs these days …

The Lord Mayor’s ‘Roller’ at the Guildhall …

Made me laugh …

Moonshots …

Abandoned duck eggs on our balcony …

You can watch a super film of ducklings hatching at the Barbican and ‘diving’ off a balcony in this short Bill Oddie report.

McLaren F1 racing car at the RAC Club …

Odd seeing it parked on a carpet.

Shoreditch Bard …

Crazy artwork overload …

Colours and sky meeting …

For some reason I like this because of the brake lights reflection contrasting with the blue sky …

Silk Street flower bed January to May …

The City gardeners are so good!

Barbie Green and a green wall …

I’ve become a bit obsessed with the profile of St Giles at sunset …

And finally, the D-Day 80th Anniversary flypast …

The Avro Lancaster …

C17 Globemaster …

Voyager KC and Atlas A400M …

P8 Poseidon and two Typhoons …

Rivet Joint and two Typhoons …

Nine Red Arrow Hawk T1 and four Typhoons …
