  • when I’m in the jungle
  • baseball games
  • when i’m feeling too lazy to make my hair look inoffensive to passers-by
  • to hide bad hair
  • for medical reasons

clandon house

we went to Clandon House which is a National Trust place today. When we arrived it was raining so we became our own parents by suggesting we had a picnic in the car. jane really didn’t enjoy it (as seen here).
Then the girls did a quiz to find easter eggs in the growns which was most excellent.

it’s Good Friday today so we spent the day out in the funkypancake estate.
jane did all the work as i am totally rubbish at anything gardeny. here are some grass clippings in a bag.

wet paint

this window is covered in wet paint. perhaps it’s special invisible paint which can turn an old wall in to a window. what a great idea that would be.
i do see some drawbacks with it though. young people would go round the neighbourhood painting on people’s walls just to annoy them.
i have proposed to the makers that for privacy reasons it’s probably best that they invent a two sides version – ie when you paint on the outside wall the effect is only visible to those on the inside who can then see out. If you want to see in to a house then you’ll need to paint the inside wall.
For a window-effect as seen here, you’d need to paint both sides

cleaning up the streets

i suspect someone misunderstood when they said they were going to clean up the streets of london. 500 rolls of toilet paper was probably not the solution they were looking for.
