i went for a windowless room in my most recent stay in an easyhotel. i think i’ll go back to the windowed option next time though. it was just a bit too much like a cleaning cupboard. but brilliant nevertheless (and for 40 squids in central london, you can’t complain)
i’ve no idea what this was about, but it was at the back of our church on sunday
i walked past this run over glasses case on the way to a meeting. i wondered if it had some glasses in, but didn’t pick it up to have a look (for fear of being run over myself)
on the way back from my meeting it had been moved and was now resting on a bollard and the (broken) contents could clearly be seen

my secret santa present arrived at work this morning
it was well wrapped in a jiffy bag then countless (err 2) layers of bubble wrap
so at 6am this morning i was in a dark office on my own on the outskirts of london opening a suspicious package from an unknown stranger (i know plenty of strangers, but this was an unknown one)
first thing i came to was this lovely red reusable guerilla carrier bag
i unravelled it a bit and there was something inside
so i reached inside and there were two more bubble wrapped items
inside the bubble wrap was tissue paper
and finally, the contents were revealed
two fantastic and lovely egg cups
so hoorah. a real success from mr or mrs tweetcret santa

it’s nigel planer who kindly let me take his photo as he went about his business. he’s better known as his alter ego neil on the young ones who of course sang ‘hole in my shoe’. My favourite bit ever is around 40 seconds in to this . the timeless wonder of it: we sow the seed, nature grows the seed etc. A quick youtube search for ‘nigel planer’ reveals how many fantastic comedies he’s been involved with.
great name for a shop/brand/thingy
aaargh. too much to remember. just as well “don’t panic” isn’t on the list
the scary giant snowmen of carnaby street
a hideous santa light stuck on a wall
i had three xmas meals last week. and a non-xmas lunch. and a 50th birthday party. all excellent stuff
i took this photo a few weeks back before it got really cold. i particularly like how he’d organised himself with his shoes neatly lined up and even a bed side table with tray and drink. lovely stuff
if you sent your CV in for this job you’d want to make sure you underlined in the important bits in red. you’ve got to speak their language back to them
little bit of decoration that was on the floor at work
