hehe. nearly christmas. wooohoo ! 7 more days to go …
London – the word
i was thinking the other day that whilst in London you rarely see the word London.
except i was wrong. and i shall prove it to you.
here is my first picture. it’s the word London on a post-it stuck on a pavement. probably just in case someone lost the town.
strange street chimney
there’s all sorts of strange buildings, secret doors and random chimneys on the streets of london. here is one on Regents Street.
coat hanger
this coat hanger was dangling in front of a white wall.
beautiful.
two different approaches to advertising nails
competition in hardware shops has increased significantly recently. they used to be able to attract customers to their shops by hanging ladders outside their front doors and putting hammers and screwdrivers in their windows.
but i’ve noticed another trend. specialist shops concentrating on the fundamentals of Do It Yourself and home improvement. shops which specialise in selling nails.
of course this fledgling industry is still searching for its identity. which is why these two nail shops have approached their window display in different ways.
neon or 80s fashion ? you decide which hardware shop to shop at.
i guess this is no different from Staples which too specialises in one of the smallest, inconsequential stationary elements. they don’t even sell staplers apparently.
nearly christmas
it’s the first of december today which of course means it’s only about a week until christmas (though it always seems much longer).
last night we had a band practice for the christmas services at church. everyone was in good spirits, primarily because Ian had raised the floor 5 centimetres. It took him 8 hours to raise it 5 cms, so it’s just as well it didn’t need to go any higher.
anyroadupdown, here is alan playing my bass and linda with a flute plunged through her heart
it was also the first outing for jane’s new guitar:
of course, being christmas, there’s quite a few twinkly carols which don’t need musical accompaniament. such as this one which sounds nices because i wasn’t playing (or singing) in it !

big nappy
a baby with a full nappy. full to bursting in fact (which accounts for the small ‘nugget’ on the floor !
hair by malcolm
it’s true you know. in this shop they employ a number of people called malcolm to sit next to you when you are having your hair cut.
it’s a lovely, but ultimately pointless idea.
gloves
here are some gloves from brother-in-law kev:
and here is another glove:
286 – the feline number ?
here is the number 286, but look at the serial number on the tickets. KA77 (which looks a bit like KATT) and puss which looks a bit like PUSS.
Both of these are words are catty words ?
just a coincidence ? i don’t think so !
