psychedelic trolly
if i could set a camera effect on my eyes it would be the slow sync. i just love the swirlyness and ‘left behind ness’. this photo just hints at this thanks to my steady hand.
it’s like the object being photo’d is not content just being itself and wants to extend itself beyond its own boundaries.
and so it should.
the torment continues
i got home this evening (11pm) to smell the sweet smell of home cooking. i traced the smell to the kitchen where i found a tub of home made CHOCOLATE cakes.
i opened the lid a small amount and savoured the odours. but i did not eat, for i have cheated chocolate today once more.
here is a photo taken through the transparent plastic lid.
a ‘do’
i went to a colleauge’s birthday ‘do’ this evening. it was very good.
here is the place:
they had crisps, nuts and bread rolls on the bar which was a nice touch:

budget home movers
some people use a removal company to help them move house. they put all your belongings in to a van and drive them to your new home where they helpfully unload them and pop them in to the appropriate room.
care needs to be taken when selecting your removal men. we all know people who’ve had bad moving experiences.
but would you use the budget removal men that this household is using ? sure they were probably cheap, but what if it rains ?
gloves of the (yester)day
gloves seen on the way home last night
not again !
the girls hardly ever have chocolate but once again here they are with big bowls of it for their pudding. hoorah for angel delight they say. it smelt SO good. but i didn’t eat any.
blue plaques
i’ve often taken pictures of the blue tourist signs on the walls of famous buildings indicating that a famous person once lived there. often people have asked if there’s more info about them, but until now i’ve not found any.
but today i found this (low bandwidth) which is part of the english heritage site (search for blue plaque).
there’s a searchable list at blueplaque.com and a complete list on the english heritage site here
blocked by trolleys
there’s a few things that annoy me up in my daily life as a pedestrian. people not stopping at zebra crossings is one. and people blocking the pavement by parking on it or unloading stuff all over it is another one.
this morning my journey between the supermarket and the office (about 30 seconds walk) was completely blocked by this chap and his massive collection of delivery trolleys.
