London is so full of little oddities, I wonder how long you could be wandering the streets before you stop noticing things – assuming you are looking around as you walk. As you walk up the street alongside the British Museum, it looks like a constant row of buildings on each side of the street. However, that isn’t the case. Halfway up the street is this gate between two buildings. The street is Montague Street, and this gate is the entrance to Montague Street Gardens. I’ve never seen it open, so I assume it is a private garden. Now I have noticed the gates, I really want to see the gardens. I guess I will have to cope with disappointment.

Gridiron Air and Their 777s
Sports teams started acquiring their own jets a long time ago. An older, heavily depreciated jet could make a relatively cheap investment which meant the limited usage for specialist purposes – i.e. moving a sports team to events – was viable compared to chartering a jet from an airline. You could also customize the interior. Older jets have been replaced by 767s and 777s with some NFL teams buying their own jets. I’m not sure how the ownership transitioned but some of these 777s have ended up being operated by Gridiron Air. They used to have more specific liveries but now they seem to have transitioned to a neutral paint job. Even so, a private 777 is a nice change so I got this one when it was bringing a team in for a game in Seattle. I wish I had seen it with something a bit more interesting on it though.
