£5 on oxford street
i feel that finding £5 on Oxford Street was a very important find and i should make the most of it ? but how ?
possible triple spot (but no evidence)
if this blog is not about photographic evidence, then what is it about ? well, yesterday i saw 2, possibly 3 celebrities, all close up and i got NO photos !
the first one was possibly Alan Davies sitting outside Starbuck. He was deliberately obscuring his face by looking down with his hair dangling. i’d give it a 70% chance of being him.
about 5pm i walked past James Dean Bradfield who was standing talking on his phone, with his guitar in a case and a bottle of beer on a windowsill. it was only when i was round the corner that i realised who he was (and then checked his website for a photo). no photo there either.
Finally, i was on a work call whilst walking up Marylebone High Street and i walked past Rich Hall (who has a very small head) dragging a wheely suitcase. Again, it was definately him as i heard him talk to a shop keeper, but because i was on a call, i couldn’t stop to ask him if i could take his photo (even if i’d managed to do a one hand photo take).
So, instead, here’s a picture of my lovely wife jane, who has been generally feeling very down in the dumps the last few days. so perhaps this will cheer her up. she’s better than any celebrity picture in my onion anyway.

guidebook photos
here’s a new category – ‘guidebook photos’. my plan is to recreate some of the photos in the guidebook/leaflets of the places we visit.
here’s a starter at Cliveden. I should have thought of this when we visited a few weeks back as the purple flower things were nicely in flower back then. oh well.
church BBQ
it was our church (goers) barbeque yesterday and a good, warm, time was had by all.
here are some people
and here is our church ‘in action’
brother edd’s belated birthday present
i gave brother edd this fantastic birthday present, but he left it behind when he went home. looking back at the pictures i can see that perhaps he wasn’t as pleased with it as i’d imagined.
the mentoes exploding coke bottle thing
instead of fireworks for my mum’s birthday celebrations, brother edd did the exploding diet coke mentoes thing. my mum didn’t know what to expect and was very impressed.
i have to say i was impressed too
always prepared
we went on a family picnic yesterday and it was excellent. the location, the weather, family etc. the only thing which nearly went wrong was when jane realised she’d forgotten the teabags. “don’t worry”, said my mum, “i’ve got one in my handbag”.
how british is that ? that was definately one of those proud-to-be-my-mothers’-son moments.
