small plastic racing car
another run away toy car.
winter bulbs
here is a light bulb in a flower bed. also in the bed is a cigarette and a cigar. i look forward to seeing how these develop. i think it might be slightly foolish to plant them as the weather is turning cooler.
but maybe they are winter flowers, with the bulb providing light in the dark evenings and the cigarette and cigars providing heat.
finally closed
this shop has been saying its closing down for over 2 years now. it’s finally gone. i’m slightly relieved as it’s a horrible thing to have hanging over my walk each day. but now i can relax knowing the shock of its closure has now passed.
There’s another shop just up the road which has also been having its closing down sale for the last year. this was has recently changed its sale to ‘factory clearance’ suggesting it’s not going the same way.
a great day for coat hangers
lots of coathangers in lots of different places in london.
synchronised timing
i have a new person working for me. she’s called Pilar and so far seems to be enjoying the world of telecommunication regulation.
i noticed today that she was wearing two watches. apparently the battery had run out on one of them so she was wearing an additional working one.
in a few years time she’ll most likely have an arm full of watches – all (except one) with dead batteries.
numbered minis
here is mini number 333 as seen 2 weeks ago (i’ve kept the photo in storage). the day before i saw number 456 but didn’t get my camera out in time as it whizzed on by.
then today i saw 230:
to the street
sign at St Paul’s tube station. note the cross in lights on the ceiling. it’s a sign …
night bell this way
it’s a long way to the night bell.
how to encourage rats
here is an unreadable sign stuck round a lamp-post. it’s got so much string on it you can’t read all the words.
i think it says:
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE RUBBISH HERE ALL DAY
THE RUBBISH IS COLLECTED AT 7AM EVERY MORNING
LEAVE YOUR RUBBISH OUT AT NIGHT
THIS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AND WILL ENCOURAGE RATS
THANK YOU
i don’t know about you, but i’m keen to encourage rats so i’ll comply with the sign.
luxury hotel
when george w bush visited london there was massive security around this luxury hotel. this morning the security had returned (but was obviously being prepared last week)
it’s weird as from the outside this hotel really isn’t very nice to look at. but then i guess when you stay in a hotel you are more bothered about what your room looks like than the exterior walls.
maybe that’s where i’ve been going wrong.
russell’s tap
here is a picture of a tap taken by russell the domino man.
he had a nice idea for a title for this post, but wouldn’t tell me. perhaps he’ll tell us all by leaving a comment ?
