I&#8217;m not ready to think aloud about that yet.  (I wonder, will there be an adverb &#8220;onweb&#8221; in years to come?  As in &#8220;not ready to think onweb about that yet&#8221;.  I think what I do in my blogging, particularly this personal one, is to think onweb, a sort of musing.)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh dear, oh dear, is that even an adverb?  It seems to me it modifies a verb but I went through school when grammar went out of fashion.  Christopher, there&#8217;s a difference between musing and rambling hopelessly: get a grip man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve really disliked some of my posts that I came to re-read for some reason, maybe that contributed to the lack of posts here.  Ah well, onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m in Toulouse now (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coresystemtrust.org.uk\/french\/\">https:\/\/www.coresystemtrust.org.uk\/french\/<\/a> gives a cross-link to my work life and part of reason I&#8217;m here).  I thought I should find the university campus before I officially start tomorrow, so I wandered off from my airBnB with my camera this afternoon.  Boy did some money go into the campus architecture and relatively recently: brutalism is alive and well, reborn in Toulouse.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I confess I have a real leaning to brutalist concrete.  I love the South Bank though I know many hate it.  Anyway, before we get to the concrete, and surely for my and your amusement, I got a fly past&#8230; (sorry about the terrible positioning on the thumbnails, double click as usual to get the full experience!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-responsive-lightbox-gallery\"><div class=\"rl-gallery-container rl-loading\" id=\"rl-gallery-container-1\" data-gallery_id=\"7419\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery rl-basicgrid-gallery \" id=\"rl-gallery-1\" data-gallery_no=\"1\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psyctc.org\/pelerinage2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1070836-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psyctc.org\/pelerinage2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1070836-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Guppy plane over Toulouse\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psyctc.org\/pelerinage2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1070843-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psyctc.org\/pelerinage2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1070843-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psyctc.org\/pelerinage2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1070845-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psyctc.org\/pelerinage2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1070845-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t see those over South London.  I see I should call it &#8220;Beluga&#8221; not &#8220;Guppy&#8221; and I think they&#8217;re right: it is very like a beluga.  Is it aerial brutalism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t seem to be remembering how to handle these galleries well, or perhaps the plugin is malfunctioning (aren&#8217;t the joys of IT boundless?)   I also need some sleep so for now I&#8217;ll just put up some of the views I took.  If you don&#8217;t like reborn brutalism, or my rather quirky viewpoints, look away now!  &#8230; or rather, just don&#8217;t double click and jump the gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
