this is still not a photo opportunity
without the street light this is even less of a photo opportunity than it was last time
December 2005
dismantelling the lights
they were taking down the ancient lights along the southbank when i walked by yesterday morning
the chap doing the deed seemed to have no head
so, it’s goodbye to the old
567
my initial attempt at a photo was thwarted by this passing taxi, but i still managed to capture the number through the window (whilst the taxi was moving)
the cabinet office go to a manga exhibition
this caught my eye. it looks like an outing for the cabinet office under the guise of the UK presidency of the EU. i myself have benefitted from a presidency event (my recent conference in edinburgh). but mine didn’t have arrows pointing to a rather dubious lady picture !
sausage dog, upsway down cigarette and a bike sign
this is a great sign medley. you’ve got a long sausage dog at the top (rarely seen in dog signs), a cigarette sign the wrong way up (unless the smoke is being blown downwards by an over head fan and a rather compact no bikes sign.
all good stuff.
it’s a banksy
i nearly didn’t spot this banksy work on this telephone box as it was on the inside of the glass and didn’t show up very well. it was only with this long-ish exposure that it became apparent.
the wording on the monkey says “new catalog is out now”. the ‘get drunk & disorderly, get arrested, get an £80 fine” is a home office advert and isn’t graffiti !
suit yourself
here’s a fine quality suitcase. in the background you can see a hardware shop where i bought my mousetraps and next to that is the french sandwich shop where i buy my french sandwiches.
busy at work
here are esther and kezia busy crafting at their tables whilst making a house call.
the sound of bins
a lot of people ask me what bins sound like, especially at christmas.
Here’s a sound clip of a mini-explosion (a lorry dropping something i think) and some nice christmas music
