urban toothbrii

look at these chaps out in the street.  the one in the foreground above looks in quite good shape, but old yellow has a few problems.  i fear for pinky (above) being lead astray.  or perhaps it’s gone out to help the yellow. 

i find the toothbrushes / toothbrii behaviour very difficult to read.

wind and rain

wind and rain go hand in hand, yet the umberolly rarely seems up to the job.  here are but two which failed the road test.

BT Tower

it was quite wet and windy yesterday and i got a bit soggy walking from Paddington to BT Tower .  I remained mostly dry (and became a walking tourist attraction for japanese business men with cameras) thanks to my military style poncho.

when we arrived we went up for pastries and it was quite rainy, but the weather cleared up a bit by our second trip up at lunchtime.  I hadn’t realised, but the the tower wobbles slightly in the wind – enough to feel slightly sea sick which was weird.

i’ll post a couple of high res pictures soon so you can zoom in and have a look around a bit.

bicyles etc.

great news – the girls got a replacement Shrek game sent to them and kezia spent a happy hour or so zooming about.   and last week i bought a couple of dance mats via ebay which have been a complete winner.  jane (in her christmas socks) and esther are shown above, but it’s been a great all-family fun thing.
