a sad day for my camera
yesterday was a sad day. i’m rarely parted from my camera, so it was with very sad to have to send it off to the menders in an inflatable padded bag (a very neat invention).
i’m hoping it’s just a dodgy CCD which will be covered by the warranty. meanwhile i’ll be using jane’s Casio Exilim EX-240 which she’s kindly leant me.
i’ll miss my W-12 terribly whilst it’s gone though
are you sitting comfortably ?
i received this sign in a fancy text message to my phone. unfortunately i managed to delete the message that went with it so didn’t spot who it was from or where it was from.
so if it’s you, thank you and please let me know !
last few signs
remember the london sign auction ? well it was a success apparently and they’ve only got three left:
Lot 247 COPTHALL CLOSE E. C. 2 – single
Lot 254 FENCHURCH AVENUE E. C. 3 – single
Lot 270 NUN COURT – pair
They are still available as an aftersale and are reasonably priced apparently.
If you want more info or are interested, let me know and i’ll give forward you the mail i got from Christies’, or you can phone Christies’ on 0207 752 3278

open plan drawers
what a good idea. rather than having drawers all stuck away in a pile, lay them out on the ground so you can see what’s in them !
that’ll save loads of time in the morning looking for that illusive pair of socks
self portrait in a street mirror
here’s a low down self portrait in a street mirror.
i’m a little ashamed to be caught wearing beige slacks and trainers ! whatever happened to my combat trousers and doc martens you ask ? well, i’m wearing them today, so not much !
two gemmas
kezia seems to be spending more of her time as her alter-ego ‘gemma the dog’. she’ll often refuse to talk and simply say ‘woof’ instead. she even wakes up at night in character.
last night we went for tea at our friends’ house where kezia played with the real dog Gemma upon which she bases her other persona.
go pink green
you asked me to investigate this car which i spotted a few days back. so that’s what i did.
here’s another photo. it turns out it’s an electric car.

Berkley Dog Sign
here is a dog sign from the recently remotivated Dan. He says:
Found this near Berkeley yesterday on a USA non-bank holiday. Note the rare head-on profile, not the side profile usually found on these signs. And those ears! And the disembodied hand! Hope you enjoy it!
it looks a bit like someone is trying to hit it with a fly swat.
glove
we’re definitely moving in to summer gloves. rubber gloves are increasingly popular with people doing things with chemicals, like painting, staining and things with bunsen burners.
bitter exit
i love the understated anger in this sign.
top tip for sign measurers …
… always allow for a border when you measure the size of your sign
