Prince: Shall I tell thee one thing, Poins?
Poins: Yes, faith, and let it be an excellent good thing.
Prince: It shall serve, among wits of no higher breeding than thine.
Poins: Go to, I stand the push of your one thing that you will tell.
Prince: Marry, I tell thee it is not meet that I should be sad now my father is sick; albeit I could tell to thee, as to one it pleases me for fault of a better to call my friend, I could be sad, and sad indeed too.
Poins: Very hardly, upon such a subject.
Prince: By this hand, thou thinkest me as far in the devil’s book as thou and Falstaff, for obduracy and persistency. Let the end try the man. But I tell thee, my heart bleeds inwardly that my father is so sick; and keeping such vile company as thou art hath in reason taken from me all ostentation of sorrow.
Poins: The reason?
Prince: What wouldst thou think of me if I should weep?

This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is PEEK. Self thinks these pictures, from her current trip to London, do fit the bill:
Sky over Bloomsbury: Today, 1 November 2017
The Gielgud on Shaftesbury, where self saw “The Ferryman” on Monday, 30 October 2017
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

So many grrreat examples of ROUNDED, everywhere self looks.
First, this from the Scythian Exhibit at the British Museum (The special exhibit is 16.50 GBP, but the rest of the museum is free. This beauty is just standing in the lobby, next to a concession stand):
The Scythians, self learned from the exhibit, were nomads who roamed the wild Russian steppes. Everything of value to them was either made of fur or minted of gold. There are the most intricate golden belt buckles, as well as gold appliqués on thick fur coats.
Moving on:
Last night, self watched a play at The Gielgud: The Ferryman. The play was three hours and 15 minutes, one proper intermission, and a three-minute break to allow the audience to get up and stretch. During the first intermission, they sold Haagen Dasz caramel salt ice cream bars in the stalls (3 GBP)
Searing. The women actors were amazing. As was a live baby, who got onstage to get a diaper change and whose part was very nicely done (Baby never cried)
Display Window, Caffé Concerto, Across from the Gielgud on Shaftesbury Ave.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

For Cee Neuner’s Flower of the Day photo prompt:
A shot of the Orinda Hills, last month, as self was leaving Bruns Amphitheatre after watching Measure for Measure:
Flowers in the photograph are teensy. She thinks those are penstemons.
Pray the California wildfires cease.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

For this post, self decided to kill two birds with one stone. She’ll look back at her fondest memories of 2017 (thus far) — the moments that gave her the most satisfaction.
Going to the Globe and seeing Tristan and Yseult; sorting through old photographs of Dearest Mum; seeing the Eiffel Tower up close; reading her story First Causes at Sixth Engine in Washington, DC; watching Mayerling at the Royal Albert Hall; visiting Cork; Tyrone Guthrie Centre
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

“. . . capture any type or style of bridge where you are . . . ”
— Cheri Lucas Rowlands, The Daily Post
Bridge Over the Sacramento River (Self loves the vibrant yellow):
Sacramento, July 2017
Another type of bridge: the stairs spanning the lobby of San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art:
Stairs to Upper Level, SFMOMA, June 2017
Finally, Waterloo Bridge in London. The bridge is special to self because it’s the one she has to cross every time she watches a play at Shakespeare’s Globe.
Waterloo Bridge, London, June 2017
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
