charity shop miniaturisation
all that in something the size of a mains plug. amazing.
glove
we’re leaving glove find season, which is a shame. but summer is still not quite here so there’s still a few out there to be found.
sonning scarecrows
today (bank holiday monday) and yesterday are the biannual Sonning Scarecrow Trail. As usual there was a fantastic number of excellent scarecrows (75+ i think) in this pretty village by the Thames.
this year we decided to give marks out of 10 on our map to help us choose our favourite. Kezia was in charge of numbers.
i liked these ones playing tennis above the street
you can see some of the rather posh sonning houses on these pictures
it was also great to see some popular and so not so popular characters appearing in the trail. such as the excellent mighty boosh
the same happened when we found cartman.
there was also a healthy amount of death and destruction, whether sharks eating limbs (very popular) or Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse in rehab.
or how about this drunked whitch witch has crashed in to a tree
or this canon being fired from a canon
perhaps most scary of all was iggle piggle, seen here with the lady who was going in to the house. i wonder if that’s actually iggle piggle’s wife, and they just happen to live here in real life ?
a very bad scarecrow
scoring minimal point for effort, but full points for comedy.
the laughing cow
these animals are going to get a complex.
the sad story of kev
bother in law kev has been tagged. he looks proud of it here, but the reality will catch up with him soon.
he found himself stuck behind the bars in the don’t go in there place
and ended up in a bare cell.
let that be a warning to you all.
(thanks to bother in law kev for not being too bothered when i take his photo!)
let the bank holiday begin
the weekend holiday began with a party for jane’s dad (referred to as Party). this is his grandson (my nephew) Thomas and not Party doing a cart wheel.
here is bother-in-law kev and party
and here’s kev doing egg ‘n’ spoon as part of the faily obstacle race jane constructed
even a power ranger can’t survive crossing the A4
there’s a madly busy road outside my office and it looks like this power ranger failed to make it to the other side. just shows to go.
tate modern
tate modern is getting ready for an exciting weekend of long weekend activities. looks like a lorra lorra fun.
we’ll not be going unfortunately, but you should. you know, if you’re in the area.
