tramp chic

here’s a funny old thing. it’s a wicker chair next to a street person’s cardboard bed.
somewhere for him to sit and read his book before retiring to bed

and what about just this a street away. it’s a street person’s mantel piece where he can rest his beer and cigs.

the end of a good friend

here’s a sad thing. my friend, the pedometer, died on friday. the cheap plastic hinge hinged its last.
since i commenced my measuring in february this year i’ve walked around 2957km. It’s not an exact science of course but this equates to over 3.6 million steps.
If the hinge had lasted another week it probably would have broke the 3,000km mark. but it didn’t.
jane’s letting me borrow her pedometer this week until i get a replacement so i can continue measuring.

here is the chart of my travels:

the average cost of my doc marten boots is now just over 2pence/km and i average 64.3km/week (around 80,000 steps per week).

brother edd’s alien

we went to visit brother edd and jacqui this afternoon. here is edd’s alien. it was knitted by our aunt apparently.
there’s a tradition of aliens being knitted. the clangers are the most obvious example.

the vegetarian option

here is my colleague liz at our office christmas lunch. she’s a vegetarian which is well accepted in most restaurants in these modern days. however, the restaurant we went to obviously wasn’t so sure, so to be safe they just gave her a plate of rice instead.

the open fridge incident

when i got in to the office yesterday morning just after 7.30am i discovered the fridge door was open.
i just thought i’d share that with you.

hovercraft

surely one of the best ways to travel ? i love how you reach the other end and just get out on the slippery concrete place right next to the sea.
if you could park your car there it would be incredibly convenient
