twin gloves

we’re in for a cold winter in the UK apparently. it’s global warming (hey?). bad news for the environment, but great news for glove spotting.
it’s not even really cold yet and here’s a red glove in a black glove. this means someone has already started wearing twin-gloves.

dave hearts ?

who does dave love ?
i love God, my wife, my family, my friends and chocolate.
who/what would you write on the wall if you had to chalk graffiti your first name and a list of loves ?
no need to answer. just have a thunk.

jo hind’s glasses

you’ll have to click the picture to inspect the glasses (and identity pass). sadly no photo on the ID so no entry in davescollections

houdinis

look at all these boxes chained together. i suspect there was an amateur escapologists meeting last night and they all got stuck.
and look at how they’ve stacked the boxes on the right. everyone knows when building a tower you should put the biggest boxes on the bottom. they’re asking for trouble.

coat hanger question

there were lots of coathanger heads on the way to the office this morning. they were all lying around looking like question marks.
there are so many questions aren’t there ? perhaps for every unanswered question in the world there’s a corresponding coathanger. wardrobes are full of unanswered questions throughout the world. jingling jangling, which clothes should you wear ?

cheap advertising

i’m a man so don’t understand too much about these things. i’m aware of ‘pairs’ of trousers, but i didn’t realise that a bra was a ‘set’.
Or maybe you get three different sizes all in one bag ? it’s a man-mystery. which is fine by me.
and look how cheap these nightwear is ! i love a bargain. pity the shop was closed when i walked past it at 7.45 this morning.

kezia’s first flower

kezia was a good girl in a flower shop yesterday and the lady behind the counter gave her a free flower. she was very proud of it and very carefully carried it to the front door when i got home last night.
it’s a pity shop keepers don’t do that kind of thing for growned-ups. it would be great if you got to the checkout in the supermarket and they said “well done, you’ve been really well behaved whilst doing your weekly shop. have a milky way”.
but they rarely do.

chocolate

i love chocolate. in fact i think i am genuinely addicted. i have a king sized mars bar for breakfast and then various other confectionary delights througout the day.
and we always have a couple of massive bars of chocolate in the house for me. the girls aren’t really that bothered by it.
so i decided yesterday to give up chocolate to save money, my teeth and my health.
i plan to be chocolate bar free for 3 weeks. that’s the time it takes to kick a habit according to a random page i found on the internet. it wil be the mornings when i miss it most.
last night i watched as the girls ate the remains of my household chocolate store:

the best hat and coat in london

i saw the scooby doo movie on sunday night. walking behind this lady rushing for my train i became convinced it was scooby in disguise.
as i went past i stole a glance. it wasn’t.

coat in a tree

it’s a shame that all the leaves are dropping off the trees. so, how does a tree keep warm in winter ? simple. wear a coat.

levitating bollard

this bollard appeared to be levitating. it was actually standing on some netting. a bollard safety net no doubt.
