IVE -- Wonyoung

I don't follow Wonyoung, but I was happy to come across this picture of her looking pretty in London.

#Kpop #KpopPix #Wonyoung #IVE #London

A person is standing outdoors with a body of water and buildings in the background. The person has long, dark hair and is wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt. They are turned slightly away from the camera, looking over their shoulder with a slight smile. The background features a large, ornate building with prominent clock towers, likely Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, along with a river and bridge. The sky is overcast and gray, creating a muted color palette for the image.

#London:
I do not at all like that city. All sorts of men crowd together there from every country under the heavens. Each race brings its own vices and its own customs to the city. No one lives in it without falling into some sort of crime whatever evil or malicious thing that can be found in any part of the world, you will find in that one city.

Anyone here in/near London, and maybe feeling interested in art and not feeling wealthy?? There's a thing called Affordable Art Fair(s), with one in Battersea next week. Some decent artists exhibit & sell there; one we bought from 10+ years ago is still offering a free ticket or two. (Her prices start under £200.)
Don't be totally shy. Ping me if I can usefully offer an intro for a free ticket. The regular tickets seem to be £14.

Green group leader Clir Scott Ainslie said the decision raises serious questions about accountability and
transparency within the Town Hall.
“Although this is not something for which the council has responsibility, it is highly
arguable that the plight of two Lambeth residents caught up in a mercy mission to Gaza
is something which affects the borough.

Oh lovely. Just discovered that some of the bus companies in #London are now issuing hand held devices to bus drivers.
I didn't discover that by reading the presser below but by finding me next to 12 tons of metal operated by a distracted driver, fully empowered by the fact that it was "a work phone".

Best of luck to cyclists and pedestrians out there
