East London Halal

October rainbow challenge - Week 2: Manmade World - Monday: Red

Guys opening up for the day at East London Halal Meat in the high street. A drizzly old day, first time it felt a bit autumny for me.

Had a bit of a scare during choir - yesterday I'd noticed an area of my little finger that was sore, and looking closely there seemed to be a visible vein or bruise - well today, I looked down to find the whole tip of my little finger had gone completely white and numb and the little bruisy bit had got bigger and bluer. Before I had time to totally panic that I was about to lose my finger to gangrene - blood seemed to flood back into the tip - and it's been OK'ish since then if a bit odd ...

Well that is an odd occurrence, you must keep a close eye on that !!!!! Do you think it's a slight wound that has got infected, might be why it's sore.
Well you can't miss that shop but why is it all covered in bars....anti vandalism do you think?

@tooki - yes indeed, there are large Muslim communities in many urban areas of Britain - east London being one of them. It's not an unfamiliar sight.
