sumo swings

kids play grounds are marvellous. this one even has a swing for sumo wrestlers.

kezia said to jane “can i have a go on the pants swing”. great minds think alike.
i obviously have the same outlook as a three year old.

here’s a message on a post-it which you could use at almost any occasion.
when would you NOT use it ?

introducing … hassocks

i’ve decided to start a new category which i hope you’ll all enjoy. i don’t normally ‘big-up’ a new category, but i’m hoping this will be a good one.
it’s Hassocks. you know. those church kneeler things.
the best ones are those made by members of the church congregation (some of whom may be reading this so i need to be careful).
Hassocks combine many of my favourite things:
* resting/kneeling down (though i’d rather sit to be honest)
* 1980s computer graphics
* tenuous religious links
* home-made crafting (cross stitch and needlepoint)
* church building interiors
* chocolate
he’s our first one, which has a dog on it. dog is an anagram of odg and ogd, but also God. which is why i assume it’s on a Hassock.
great stuff.

two swivel chairs

here are two swivel chairs in the street. they were about 5 minutes walk from each other, so perhaps they were having a race.

buckingham palace

i took this photo on request as kezia had forgotten what the queen’s london house looked like. i thought you might be interested in case you had forgotten too.

father’s day cards

i’ve got about 300 photos back logged ready for blogging sometime, but i should have a bit more timely with this, which is kezia’s drawing for me for father’s day last sunday.
i’m on the left and she’s on the right. apparently she drew our heads then panicked as she didn’t know how to draw bodies !
i just love how kids photos can be so expressive.

caught wearing a wig

jane’s been taking pictures of people we know in a fancy wig and sun glasses for a guess-who photo quiz. it proved very tricky despite most of the subjects being familiar to us.
i may post a few of the pictures as some of them are quite amusing.
here’s matthew who is holding his wiggy photo. doesn’t he look pleased (in both pictures) ?
