Not so long ago, Christmas and all that. Actually I do find it difficult to remember things now, and often when people ask me if I&#8217;ve done anything interesting recently it takes me a very long time to answer, and sometimes I need to look in my diary. Weeks and events do somehow seem to merge into each other, and I&#8217;m often rather pleased that I can look back to &#8216;<em>My London Diary<\/em>&#8216; to remember those things that I went to and photographed.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I do have an actual diary too, though again it is now online, where I put down in advance when I get invitations or appointments and the details of the events I hope to photograph, though for various reasons it isn&#8217;t always possible to do so. In December I managed to get to around half the events I had an interest in. A few there just wasn&#8217;t time to get to, with other events over-running, and some days I just had to rest, too tired after other things.<\/p>\n<p>When I do go out to take pictures, I usually like to have a piece of paper in my pocket on which I&#8217;ve written the important details &#8211; times and places, what the event is about, details of any buses or trains I hope to use, occasionally a name and phone number for the organiser etc. I could put it all on my smartphone, but its more convenient to have it written down, usually on a quarter sheet of scrap A4. That way a quick glimpse stops me heading for Trafalgar Square when the protest I&#8217;m going to photograph is actually in Old Palace Yard. And yes, I&#8217;ve done that before now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/03\/20161203-d604.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Dec 2016<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/dec.htm#newyear\" target=\"_blank\">New Years Eve Walk<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/dec.htm#boxing\" target=\"_blank\">Boxing Day Walk<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/dec.htm#nhshowl\" target=\"_blank\">Howls of protest for death of the NHS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/22\/20161222-d191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/dec.htm#heathrow\" target=\"_blank\">Heathrow &#8220;M4-15&#8243;protesters at court<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2016\/12\/dec.htm#syria\" target=\"_blank\">Doctors &amp;
