corner view ≈ fire(s)

i'd actually really hoped the great fire of london would have been stored somewhere for us online. i wasn't disappointed. the 1666 great fire of london has deeply impressed me in many ways. i saw a chilling dramatized scene at the london museum in the early 10's. i read about the great fire in rutherfurd's london, when i couldn't do anything but read to pass the time, a few years ago. and of course, there will always be peter ackroyd, who writes haunting history books on england's capital and humourously dubs unforgettable televised drama. if you can spare ten minutes of your precious time, then the evocation lies in wait for you's. samuel pepys reported elaborately on the great fire, which he closely watched from across the rolling thames {all to be found in his diaries}. let's hear it for the man, he's kept remarkably well. ☻ {set the above video in motion. please do. virginia woolf in cameo!} 

i've had london on my mind all day, does it show? i miss her so... jane's corner view, hosted by francesca. add some fire to your day today, hey? actually. basil fawlty once shrieked fa-fa-fire! remember? {do not watch the video if you find yourself under a particular anti-fawlty-spell. being basil, he's acting up something unnerving.}
