no biking or skating
look at this skaters amazing thumb !
pret whooping
i walked past pret on oxford street just before 7.30 when they were all being whooped up for the day by their leader. i was out in the cold rather than in with them being whooped, but i’m not a real whooping sort of guy so that was fine with me.
polite parking notice
i love this no parking sign. it says: “polite notice please do not park out side the gate otherwise ready for =clamp=”
and scribbled down the side it says “no fat people please” which i suspect was added later.
stand-ard bearer
here’s a posh chap carrying two music stands over his shoulder. it looks a bit like i’ve blocked his face out to protect his identity. perhaps that is actually how they do that face blocking out thing ?.
foggy
i walked from paddington to brick lane yesterday morning to give a presentation. it started off very dark (because i left home just after 5.30) and was very foggy.
then, it got really nice and sunny:
but as soon as i passed the barbican it went foggy and really cold again:
and it was still foggy at lunchtime (note the lack of top of natwest tower)
414
here’s 414. i also spotted 463 yesterday but i was getting some money out for my evening paper so didn’t catch it before it zoomed round the corner. my mistake. sorry.
sunday is funday (at mcdonalds)
the sermon at church yesterday was about what our attitude to sunday should be. you can read what was said here.
we’re studying genesis at the moment – the Bible book, not the band, although ‘genesis the early years’ would be quite a cool sermon series, or how about Genesis BC (Before Collins).
but we’ve been learning lots on how God created the world as a cool place. hopefully you catch a bit of that excitement here on funkypancake.
anyway, sunday at mcdonalds is ‘funday’ apparently. so much fun in fact that they dressed one of their people up as a bear with a wonky face.
glove and shoe (and soles)
here is a glove and some shoe parts on the banks of the thames. i assume this arrangement was (wo)man made. but you knever now.
more cycling
the weather in england is quite mad at the moment. it’s more like summer than summer was. we’ve been taking advantage of it again and yesterday afternoon went for a cycle ride.
the mystery thing
here’s something from last may. it’s esther and kezia spotting something on the floor. but what is it ?
it’s a thing:
esther doing her homework
esthe’s school homework was to take a picture of her house by day and night ! she’s only 6 but took to my digital SLR very naturally.
