congestion charge
a sign and some cameras further down the road.
we’ve been to hull and back
we’ve been away this weekend.
we journey’ed to the north of england to a small hamlet called Hull. Here is a birdseye view (what a pea would see).
we stayed with our lovely friends richard, julia, joseph, hannah and bethany. they have a variety of aninmals.
we had a great time and i got loads of photos to show you. but i’ll pace myself.
meanwhirl, here are esther and kezia taking bella the dog for a walk.
pewari’s found shoes
pewari is a regular reader.
i didn’t know this and neither did most of the rest of you i’d guess. but she does and i know that because she told me. in an email.
but not only that, she also sent me this photo which contains not one, not three, but TWO different random shoes.
i’ve no idea of where she found them, but they look very good. so a big thank you to you (if you are pewari, which at least one of you is).
bizarre car
matt sent me this car he spotted on Whitechapel High Street. it looks very good.
it has an L plate which means someone is learning to drive in it. or maybe it means the car is learning to be a real car. from the looks of it it needs plenty more practice.
belgian dog sign
dog soup in brussels.
view from the window
there some great clouds going by at the moment which reminded me that ages ago i said i was going to ask a geography teacher and a meteologist why it doesn’t rain as much first thing in the morning (ie why i usuallly manage to avoid rain on the way to work).
the geography teacher didn’t even believe my hypothesis. she lives in a rainy town in the west of town and hasn’t done much teaching for a while as she’s been making babies. so she’s probably forgot.
but our friend the meteologist sent the following:
You are quite right that it is more likely to rain in the afternoon particularly in the summer with showery type rain. Showery type rain comes from convective clouds and for convection you need wamer surface so air near surface can warm up and go up (convect!) To warm surface need sun, longer sun been out warmer surface, more convection more likely to have rain. In some parts of the tropics you can set your watch by when the rain starts in the afternoon.
Non-showery type rain (due to “weather fronts”) dont give a stuff about the time but thats the type which seems to rain all day (or more)
So now we know !
losy eeyore
i’m working from home today so got to take esther to school which was fun. there was a coffee morning for parents so i had a hot water as esther proudly showed me all the work she’s already done this term.
then it was registration time so i came home to work.
on the way we saw this lost eeyore. According to esther he’s been there all week and has no tail.
mystery thing
here’s your friday quiz. what do you think this ? i think it’s quite guessable.
kitkat
what have they done to the humble kit kat ? they’ve given it a subtle make over which i’m not happy with.
look at the cheap special offer label. 30 pence. much too cheap for a quality product. It was a limited offer and there was only one in the shop.
but look at the picture on the back ! chocolate shouldn’t be eaten by dyed haired bimbos !
you can see what happens when they try:
the kit kat is supposed to be a sophisticated chocolate bar not some giddy headed fun biscuit.
