Pat the Pianist
charity shos have to be careful what they sell. they don’t want to sell anythng dangerous, but equally they don’t want to sell anything which is rubbish.
so that’s why Pat the Pianist comes round and plays all the pianos and organs before they are put up for sale. if she doesn’t like the timbre of the auto-backing beats or is put off by the vibrato on the inbuilt lesley she’ll not let them sell it.
so until she comes a-visiting, it’ll sit, looking good, but minus the price ticket
submitted photos
here are two photos sent by me dear readers.
on the left are some humanoid state-side bollards sent from cheryl. she questioned whether these chaps were bollards since they were doing the same job.
my motto is “if it quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck” (unless it’s a cunning cat trying to catch duck by impersonating them). so, yes. i think it’s a bollard
on the right is a glove from nottingham sent by brother-in-law kev who has just moved up that way and likes sending me pictures of gloves
sesame recycling street
i spotted this out of a taxi window. the sign says “welcome to your local recycling bring site”.
the graffiti is about the size of a person.
robots
two little robots:
best of friends:
down and ?
the lift on the right has gone missing.
sign video
well. i caught a Beautiful South video on The Amp earlier.
it’s quite excellent and you should watch it. there’s a few excellent moments – especially the slippery floor sign and the recreation of the builder sign.
see it here (at the moment):
High Speed Connection
Medium Speed Connection
Low Speed Connection
autumnal confetti
here are esther and kezia outside church looking at the confetti left from a wedding the day before.
up close the confetti complimented the autumnal colours and the beautiful dew drops.
in a battle between man made and natural, i think the natural was winning.
click the leaves
craziest golf
there’s are a number of adventure golf courses on the isle of wight. the theme of this one was a desert island. for some reason it had a real wrecked airplane crashing in to it, complete with a manequin pilot with matted hair and a very scarey starey face.
the neon at the bottom of the picture on the left says “family amusements”
a glove on a tyre.
sing along now:
“like a glove on a tyre, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free”
submersible
sunkened boat in the thames.
kids lifting a lobster pot
these kids spent about half an hour trying to drag this lobster pot off the beach. i bet their parents were very pleased when they got it home.
