dogs can kill kiwi
by strange coincidence, here’s another no dogs sign from another helen. what are the chances of that ?
December 2007
ancient dog signs
i went to helen’s leaving do almost exactly two years ago and she’s finally got round to sending me the pictures. i had asked for them because they included the ‘no dogs’ sign.
thanks helen – and i thought i was a bit behind with my photos !
the picture i left behind
over the summer i carried a couple of pictures everywhere i went to hang on handy hooks if i ever came across any. there was one in a holiday cottage we went to so i left it there. as seen here.
another one went on my parent-in-law’s wall and they didn’t spot it for a few weeks. once they found it they took it to jane’s sister’s house and secretly left it there. i’ve not heard anything since. (about it). not sure if they’ve found it or just chucked it in the bin. or perhaps i’ll get it back as a surprise xmas present.
hassock of the week
look at them all ! brilliant.
festive decorations
these things are on a road off oxford street (can’t remember which)
the sky was fantastic as i walked by staring up in to the sky.
this weekend might be christmas tree weekend (if i can convince jane)
strange banana
everyone loves a randomly shaped banana. this had more curves than a comedy comparison item which has lots of curves. (a generic joke there)
excuse me madam
she didn’t seem to mind
brussels flea market
continental flea markets are brilliant. my work colleague suggested we went to this one on our way to the conference on our first day in brussels.
dolls, and squirrels and wigs and long lost hardware thingybobs
or how about a dog embossed pipe holder, complete with 4 authentic (and used) pipes ?
or perhaps 6 of 12 belt buckles on a display board ?
this man was selling somewhere else carefully reflected in his mirror
and i was particularly taken by this picture of a cobbled floor.
and here’s an arty mirror picture
graffiti musicans
these people were having a photo shoot next to the graffiti on the south bank. i managed a sneaky shot from the side lines. technically was a bit tricky as it was dark and i was a long way off. just so you know !
art on wheels
even street ambassadors (tramps) need hobbies. there’s at least two in london who make a habit of collecting huge amounts of carrier bags full of stuff and transporting them round london in trollies. it could actually the same chap come to think about it – perhaps he’s had a shave and removed all the white paint from his coat.
anyway, quite poignant i think. chap with nothing (we assume) dragging all his found belongings round town in a cumbersome and visually striking way.
makes you fink dunnit.
christmas fayre for the telly
this was for This Morning on the South Bank as i went by yesterday morning.
the smallest geocache i’ve found
it’s a nano cache don’t you know
nothing changes
hawkwind and new model army on the bill at the astoria. that’s been going on for years hasn’t it ?
lifty bridge
i was orderly walking down the thames path when i noticed the pathway lifted up before my eyes sir
the sky from the sky
somewhere between wales and ireland i think.
