As I have already posted, my Monday morning was weird - in fact it got even weirder as I had a phone call from a friend's partner to say her mother had died suddenly over the weekend.

Anyway, one of my many things I have actually got done this morning is paid some orchestra bills at the Town-Council offices ... so thought you would like to see the building. It was originally the home built by Sir Goldsworthy Gurney (a Victorian inventor .... his lights were in The Houses of Parliament).

The obelisk in the foreground is our Millenial "thingy" - and is made of Bude colours - sea, sand, blue sky and is in the shape of the lights invented by Sir Golgsworthy Gurney to be used in the Cornish Tin Mines.

I'm always fascinated by glimpses into the differences in our cultures. Why did you go to pay bills at the Council office? Is that a post office?

Interesting monument. Pretty though. At least it is small, if it were huge that would be weird. hehe. :)

Ooh - a Millenium obelisk is unusual - around here everyone seemed to go in for clocks, and UK wide there seems to be a surfeit of bridges, but I've never seen an obelisk before!

Your Millenial thingy is much nicer than the ugly carrot or parsnip that we finished up with that nobody in the town wanted :(
