Birthdays, cabs and gore!

It was my birthday on Friday, and a parcel arrives. It's addressed to me, but has no other markings... Upon opening it, I discover a black taxi money box! Happy birthday to me! but no clue as to who it came from! A bit later in the day I receive a text from Mark cryptically asking if I had a cab yet or was I saving for one? Cryptic clue solved! Thanks so much Messrs TulStig! Here it is in it's new home next to another iconic feature of London, a pillarbox:

Whilst out on one of my runs today, I came across one of London's grislier sights. 97 Evering Road, the basement flat here is the site of the Krays murder of JAck "The Hat" McVitie. Not pleasant I know, but a historic site nonetheless. You can just about make out the flat on the right in this photo:

More interesting sights to come, I'm sure!

Reiki update: My neighbour texted Carla claiming I had magic hands and that she wants another session this week as her back has rarely felt better. I'm super chuffed to hear this, as I have also been administering Reiki to Carla, who is now sleeping better as a result. Awesome!

As for today's song, this came to me whilst zooming about on the bike Crazy

KRAYzy..... Sorry....
