the great north south divide is nowhere more apparent than in the centre of london. norther of the river are the great wealths of london’s monetary districts and of course the mother of all parliaments ‘parliament’.
go south of the river and it’s a different story. southwark has always been a place associated with badness. but never have i seen the likes of it.
just LOOK what they’ve done to these two chaps. bent and burnt.
here is my lovely wife jane. she is lovely. (i hope she’s reading this so she knows).
i’ve walked under this sign for nearly 3 years and only today realised it says “5 races”. hoorah for neon.
i’ve been collected pictures of numbered minis. i saw this one whizz by me this morning and got a photo of it at the lights (i REALLY need a camera with a faster start up time!).
but how would i remember which number it had written on the side ? i decided to use my hands. it’s 435 (i didn’t have enough fingers on one hand to do a 6 so i used a piece of railing)
this little match box is looking at this pillar in awe.
“Wow ! to be so tall !” they are thinking and they’ve even taken the roof off their box so they can all see properly.
but don’t despair little matches. each of you have the power of fire. something this yellow pretender will never have.
someone has disgarded their blender. but best of all, they’ve chucked it away in its original box ! there’s something slightly strange about throwing something away in the box it came in.
it sort of implies that it wasn’t used enough as the box should wear out before the machine surely ? although the box does look pretty worn out.
perhaps they threw it away for precisely that reason “i think i best chuck this blender out dear, the cardboard box is falling apart”.
this pile of dirt and stones has been dragging itself along the street. where is it going ? what is its motive ? why do we care so ?
jane bought a candle to scare the wasps away. the manufacturers has spent little time on their instructions and even less on the accompanying drawings.
i’m pretty sure the one on the left is of a dog. click for a bigger inspectable version.
one of the nice things about old churches are the windows. this one might be 13th Century. it might not be. i’m sure someone will tell us (lynda ?).
either way, they must have been so cool back in the days before photos. the colours would have been unlike anything else.
this hat was found and photo’d by esther. she was very pleased.
very similar to this one, but with feet and lacking a line through it.
possible modelled by the same man and dog that modelled for this one ?
