someone had crashed their car in to this telegraph pole and knocked the light off.  so some firemens had wrapped it round the trunk and put some tape on to keep us all safe.  good on them.

photography is mostly about light, which is why websites like this are so brilliant.  esther and kezia shouted me to come urgently with my camera yesterday morning as their toys were being lit by a thin slither of light which was coming through the living room curtains and illuminating a piece of string holding a toy balloon.  fantastic stuff which of course completely confused my camera.

well done to Rascle for guessing the thing. it was in fact some modern stage lights as used at the holiday club last week. that particular light poked me in the ear. which was nice.

jane and i were invited round to some friends for a pudding party last night where we ate puddings and laughed heartily. as it was going dark i noticed this unlit candle, which was never lit. we remained until it got too dark to see and then we left under cover of the night.

i went to a meeting in a commission conferenc hall which had the most amazing lights on the ceiling. After each presentation they would switch them on and effect on the room in terms of light and sound was quite dramatic. i imagine half of luxembourg dimmed when theses lights were switched on !

'bulb' is one of those words which quickly loses its meaning if you keep saying it out loud over and over to yourself.

try it. enjoy it. bulb.

later in the day the top had been chopped off and the rest had been laid to rest
