selfridges window
selfridges on Oxford Street often have excellent window displays. here’s what’s on at the moment.
it’s very doctor who isn’t it ?
no idea what it’s about. and i like that feeling
August 2005
dates for your diary
plenty to do over the next few weeks. it’s bank holiday weekend in the UK and i’m planning on going to the Reading Festival at the weekend, and i’ll also be entering a few photos in to the Swallowfield Show.
those who are prepared to travel further should consider this excellent fiesta in near Hamburg/Lübeck in Germany on the 16-18th September. It features loads of cosmic music including the legendary Faust (who are touring the UK in the autumn)
danesfield hotel
jane and i went for a drink in the fantastic danesfield hotel on saturday night. i was woefully underdressed which added to the fun. people thought i must be someone famous (i should have told them about my radio berkshire appearance !).
here’s jane enjoying her pimms:
and here’s the very strange crisps they brought us:
i tell you this because jane and the girls are off camping for a few nights.
something i missed
most of my photos are taken on the way to or from meetings and other work activities. often i see things and simply don’t have time to stick around and see how they pan out.
here’s a good example. it’s the set of an outside play called ‘the hole job’
look at the fantastic sign in the background of this (you’ll have to click to see properly):
here’s the general set:
don’t ask y(fronts):
the advert
inviting
they were as bad inside as out
the world’s longest pencil
here’s is the world’s longest pencil
here is another pencil with a fire extinguisher suitable for extinguishing pencil fires:
service station massages
here’s a new invention i’m not that keen on. it’s a massage chair, available for public use in service stations. you pay £1 and get jiggled for 10 minutes.
all it does is shake you around and make your money fall out your pockets and down the back of the cushion.
and, honestly, who would strip off and sit in one of these chairs in the lobby of a service station.
(with the exclusion of saturday night british beer heads)
hassock of the week
any ideas what this is ? i didn’t work it out for ages.
young pheasants
motion blurred (because i was moving) sign warning of the danger of young pheasants. we only saw this photo after we’d cycled through about a hundred mad running pheasants on a road !
found photo
another one for davescollections
cycling
cycling seems to be our new hobby. today we went for a three hour cycle round Windsor park with us all cycling. here’s my attempt at taking a photo whilst cycling.
and here’s kezia cycling on her own last thursday
