another page 5
here is another page 5. this one also refers to the new LED displays, but rather than sending you to Burger King, it refers to you to platforms 6/7.
xfm single launch
as i walked down Oxford Street this morning listening to XFM they announced that they were opening the Virgin Megastore early this morning to launch the Twisted X – Born In England football song.
so i popped in and did a teeny weeny interview and bought the single.
i’m not really a football fan or a single buyer, but i do like the song (and love the B-side).
here is a bus and a david beckham lookalike.
DJ Christian O’Connell:

lost and found
this morning i saw a cat lying in the morning sun at the side of the road with its tongue dangling out. sadly it had become an ex-cat and i was a little sadened (after being happy-ed by the budding flower).
a few steps along the pavement was a tiny square of carpet (about 10cm square)
and a little further a long the street was this VISA card. i phoned up the stolen helpline and they said it had already been reported stolen. they said if i took it in to a bank they may give me a reward but the lady on the phone said she doubted it !
i suspect all three things are related but i don’t know how/why.
bud
i thought this was poignant (pungent) for the beginning of a new week. a flower about to spring in to life.
daisies
daisies in my turnups.
the local show
it was our local village donkey derby today. esther’s old pre-school has a stall doing face painting (and tattoos and hook-a-duck).
jane took time out of her marking to do some face painting:
here is the end result:
glove
highly unseasonal
another varient
this is a very slight varient on a classic dog sign. the front legs are more eager than usual so are tucked behind the red line.
it’s this attention to detail which is so important for dog sign spotting.
a fox
moments before there was a fox standing here. i decided not to wade in to the stingy nettles to find him. sorry about that.
exam marking
jane continues to mark exam papers diligently. she’s been locking herself in a room at her parents house so as not to be distubed by her disturbing husband and children.
here she is having a rare moment of fun when we went to collect her this evening:
and here is her father in his role as “the big bad bear” chasing Esther:
playground
this afternoon’s outing was to a local swing park. here is kezia as seen through the climbing chains.
phone fun
esther and kezia play with the games on my mobile phone. esther kept running up to me and explaining how it works. i hadn’t (and still haven’t) got a clue what the game is all about.
a better class of supermarket fun
this week’s “dad and daughters” shop was in waitrose. look at the higher quality of fun we had compared to asda last week.
kezia is doing the barcode scanning whilst esther is fethching the produce.
sideless
more of the frontless building (from the side)
some regulators
are these people checking for localness ?
junk
a floating bin lorry
