boxing match
three boxes in a row. the one on the right looks the tallest. but only because it’s standing on a plant pot.
what incredible cheek.
they continue to taunt me
look what was on our dinner table just now. more chocolate (for the girls pudding).
none for me still though (it’s been nearly a week and i haven’t killed anyone yet).
today was one of those lunches where you use up the scraps from around the house. i think those are the best meals.
esther said “this meal isn’t very healthy is it mummy ? but i know it’s the best you can do”. she’s full of encouragement.
the ‘f’ in church yard.
esther was pleased to find this stick shaped as the letter ‘f’ in the church yard.
matching shoes and trousers
how embarrasing to go to church and find one of your friends wearing exactly the same shoes. this happened to kezia and abby.
they weren’t exactly the same shoes of course. they had a pair each.
the half haycorn
esther shouted “come quickly daddy, there’s something we need to photograph”.
we both ran like the wind to get to the scene. it was half an acorn (haycorn) on a leaf.
esther was very proud. this is her picture.
wet watertower
water-towers sometimes seem a bit pointless in the UK. it rains all the time anyway, so why do we bother storing it up ?
if you live in the UK you’ll probably have seen the flood map which i find fascinating (but only because we’re not in a flood area).
siamese twins
it must be weird enough being a normal siamese twin, but imagine being a siamese where your other half is an animal.
head in a box
someone taking a picture of a girl wearing a cardboard box outside liverpool street station.
the withered hand
click to inspect this bizarre sign which is on the door at the Royal Festival Hall.
high tide
it was a very high tide yesterday. one of those once or twice a year things. boats were squeezing under the bridges and everything.
strange sounds
if you haven’t been and seen the tate modern Nauman exhibit i’d recommend a trip. it’s not quite as dramatic as the sun but still worth a trip.
cycle protest
i got caught in a protest yesterday lunchtime. i’m not entirely sure what they were protesting for or about, but they seemed in good cheer.
