Odd one out

Amid the postwar architecture in this tucked away corner behind Wellesley Road in Croydon is this little brick house. Looks like it's shut up and not sure if it's newer or older than its surroundings. Another lovely bright sunny day.

Awayday today and almost supremely dull other than:

3 good things
1. A raffle - I won chocolate buttons! All in aid of the Alzheimer's Society, a worthy cause.
2. Free lunch this time - and I ate too much of it of course - let's not get started on the churros with chocolate inside - what a revelation!
3. A nice quick drink after at Boxpark with Alice.

1 bad thing - and a peril of seeing colleagues IRL:
R messaged later after she'd got home to Sheffield to say that she's tested positive for COVID. And I'd sat bang up close to her yesterday for 2 hours as well as a bit of chitchat today. Let's see how much immunity I have left after my bout in June and my Irish cold....

That’s a cute looking house.

Fingers crossed that pesky Covid hasn’t entered your system again

Slightly more interesting than the surrounding buildings. Shame about the graffiti on the ugly door.

Oh I do hope they don’t pull it down. Keeping everything crossed for you re Covid 🤞🏻

What a cute little house, pity it is closed up. Fingers crossed you don't get Covid.

Isn’t that a very cute building…remarkable in its difference to surrounds! Strangely the horrid graffiti adds to the picture! Bad luck re the covid friend both for her & you…not necessarily means you will get it! It’s a very unorthodox bug!

I like this lovely little building, surrounded by it's massive neighbours. A lovely shot!

It is such a cute house. How awesome to win chocolate, and have a free lunch. I do hope your immunity is up.

Curious building…. Hope your all clear.

That looks as though it would have some interesting shaped rooms, but I wouldn't like being without a yard!
