budget home movers
some people use a removal company to help them move house. they put all your belongings in to a van and drive them to your new home where they helpfully unload them and pop them in to the appropriate room.
care needs to be taken when selecting your removal men. we all know people who’ve had bad moving experiences.
but would you use the budget removal men that this household is using ? sure they were probably cheap, but what if it rains ?

not again !
the girls hardly ever have chocolate but once again here they are with big bowls of it for their pudding. hoorah for angel delight they say. it smelt SO good. but i didn’t eat any.
blue plaques
i’ve often taken pictures of the blue tourist signs on the walls of famous buildings indicating that a famous person once lived there. often people have asked if there’s more info about them, but until now i’ve not found any.
but today i found this (low bandwidth) which is part of the english heritage site (search for blue plaque).
there’s a searchable list at blueplaque.com and a complete list on the english heritage site here
blocked by trolleys
there’s a few things that annoy me up in my daily life as a pedestrian. people not stopping at zebra crossings is one. and people blocking the pavement by parking on it or unloading stuff all over it is another one.
this morning my journey between the supermarket and the office (about 30 seconds walk) was completely blocked by this chap and his massive collection of delivery trolleys.
boxing match
three boxes in a row. the one on the right looks the tallest. but only because it’s standing on a plant pot.
what incredible cheek.
mowerer
this man has a great little vehicle. i saw him approaching and signalled that i’d like to take his photo.
so he stopped next to where i was standing, waited until i got the photo, then moved on his way.

they continue to taunt me
look what was on our dinner table just now. more chocolate (for the girls pudding).
none for me still though (it’s been nearly a week and i haven’t killed anyone yet).
today was one of those lunches where you use up the scraps from around the house. i think those are the best meals.
esther said “this meal isn’t very healthy is it mummy ? but i know it’s the best you can do”. she’s full of encouragement.
the ‘f’ in church yard.
esther was pleased to find this stick shaped as the letter ‘f’ in the church yard.
matching shoes and trousers
how embarrasing to go to church and find one of your friends wearing exactly the same shoes. this happened to kezia and abby.
they weren’t exactly the same shoes of course. they had a pair each.
the half haycorn
esther shouted “come quickly daddy, there’s something we need to photograph”.
we both ran like the wind to get to the scene. it was half an acorn (haycorn) on a leaf.
esther was very proud. this is her picture.
