tree sack race

here’s two trees having a sack race up a street. it’ll be egg and spoon tomorrow and a three trunked race on wednesday.
the highlight will be the parent trees race on friday when a number of extremely competitive giant pine trees will come barging down the street (much to the embarrasement of the junior trees).

martha lane-fox

marylebone high street is the place to spot fast moving celebrities / millionaire dot-com business people. here is martha lane-fox.
i could have got a photo of her from the front but she was carrying loads of bags and talking on her mobile and i was a bit embarrased so i waited until she’d passed.
will you just LOOK at the size of those turnups !

spamerama

i’m starting to really love spam after a period of finding it very annoying.
it’s thanks to the random combinations of words they put together to get through the spam traps. here are two i received today.
how would you charade them ?

biking

we went out cycling this afternoon in the blistering heat with esther (still painted like a dog) on jane’s tag-a-long and kezia on the back of my bike.
there are bluebells everywhere this year and they look fantastic.

the holy spirit

There’s god right.
And he sent jesus his son ok.
and he died so we don’t get what we deserve when we die essentially.
and jesus has gone back up to heaven, but will come back basically.
and meanwhile we have the holy spirit who is like god being with us in the interim marvellously.
and the holy spirit is a bit like the wind (in that he blows all your sermon notes off the lecturn if you aren’t careful).
he is the fan outside the church on the way home.

esther looking a bit ruff

we had our annual church meeting today which is always good fun. there was a nice competitive edge as there were 10 nominees for 9 places on the PCC (the church council).
i didn’t let you down, dear readers, and got voted back in. hoorah.
meanwhile the children went to the church hall and were painted (and treated?) like animals by some nice volunteering ladies.

mr big (eye)

it’s becoming traditional to have someone at church looking like they are smoking but not. last time it was kezia and today it was Big Eye Tony. He’s using a cheesy bread stick thing as a cigar to comical effect.
Interestingly he’s holding a pad of paper which has the words Big written. It may have said Big Eye. i’m not sure.
