Bodies and fires


With such a large 'back garden' its not surprising that I see a lot and obviously follow news stories relating to the surrounding area. Two most notably: the headless and handless torso of a woman found in a large bag was fished out of the docks opposite us - I wonder who she was and how anyone actually contemplates, let alone sets about, cutting limbs, and particularly the head, off a body? I just hope the missing bits don't get washed up on the shoreline for an unsuspecting 'mudlark' to find. The second incident was waking to find the sky over towards Deptford filled with black smoke - this of course was the factory fire which had started at midnight that, not only caused 200 residents to be evacuated to a park in their PJ's, but also caused traffic chaos the following morning. An update on that is that last night (29th April) at around 7.30 the sky was again filled with black smoke coupled with an orange glow at its base. The fire had obviously re-ignited! Sirens could be heard from what seemed many different locations across London - it only seems like that due to the water expanse and the echo I guess. The sky is clear this morning so it is obviously out for the time being!
