if this was doctor who then this blue stain would have slowly expanded over the floor, then the entire building, and most probably the people.  it wasn't though.  but the carpet was still stained.

(and a bit of yellow-ish)

the sun was shining through this upstairs window on to their red walls making a lovely red glow.

kezia took this photo whilst on a day out with jane last week to the local bot garden.  she spotted the green lady near the green sculpture and grabbed the shot.    bit out of focus, but great seeing.

a garage with only blue cars for sale.  and then a few minutes later a blue drinks carton and a blue de-icer.

i've often wondered about the pink background on this sign and i recently realised it's probably run off the red on the top left.  which probably isn't a great advert for a laundrette as you'd hope they would be quite good on keeping colours separate.  oh well.

urban camouflage at its best.  i was going to do a low down close up shot type thing but i spotted a bus was heading straight for me and i stepped off the road just in time

i took the day off work yesterday to spend the day taking photos of things for my course.  this was the first thing(s) i tried to take a picture of as it's meant to show the word 'black'.  but i don't think it does.  so i got a bit disillusioned and before I knew it the day was gone.  ho hum.

even though they didn't meet the brief (at least i don't think they do) they are fairly ok-ish photos i think.  the earphones look a bit sinister in some of the pictures.

always be sure to give these chaps a few quids before taking their photos.  if you do they are happy to stand still, especially if they are a statue.  this chap was genuinely on the phone though and had temporarily left his plinth to make a phone call.

not the best picture of clive, but just look at his jumper.  this week i've been learning about colour on my OU photo course and his jumper contains 'harmonious colours' around the theme of blue !

the spacehopper is enjoying a renaisance rather like scooting did a few years back. businessmen are taking advantage of the long dry british summer to commute to work on spacehoppers, sometimes travelling miles just to get to work.

what we see here is a lady's sports spacehopper. she's parked it up (rather badly i notice) and left her sunnies on the roof.



Robin, a colleague, sent me this advert for top magazine Navy News. He pointed out how excited everyone was to be reading it (but not excited enough to buy their own copies i note).

but i ask you, how much news about the colour blue can you fit in to one magazine. not many by the looks of it. it's just one piece of paper folder in half.

this telly built in to a black and white picture was showing a black and white film. until the telly broke. now it's a crazy coloured thing.

i once worked in a restaurant as a commis chef. i hadn't got a clue what that meant (and still don't) but it did involve having to go on a council run kitchen hygiene course. so i'm qualified hygenic.

anyway, one of the important things i learnt was to always check your milk bottles for dead mice. another important thing was never to eat the raisins you find in the store room cupboard.

i also learnt that you need different coloured chopping boards for different types of food - cooked meats, uncooked meats, salads, mannequins, spleens etc.

perhaps these bags use a similar coding. perhaps not. but it's a nice story anyway.
