rebuilding the wall
to be honest London wall has seen much better days. since the city stopped being walled-in it’s been left to fester and there’s only a few places where you can see it around the town.
i was therefore very pleased to see they might be rebuilding it. anti-terrorism and all that i imagine.
exquisite bollard
it’s the daddy of the bollards. a real beauty. but why has it got its ‘no entry’ sign on the wrong side ?
not much work, not much danger
this is a hearty sign usually associated with major road excavations. today it denoted a small amount of mud on the street.
still, better safe than sorry.
a net
street fishing is all the rage. there’s an ugly side involving dragnet fishing which involves scooping up entire streets.
more traditional is the street lobster pot. this one has caught a chocolate bar over night.
mixing your words up
you don’t get this kind of thing on the web. i might spell stuff wrong and have rubbish grammar but at least my words don’t slide off the page like they did in last night’s Evening Standard
christian letter closes
it’s been a while since we’ve had any Christian letter closes on the blog, so here is a fresh one. you can use this for the next 8 months until i give you a new one. ready ? here goes:
Until His appearing
run ! fire ! run !
it’s our old friend again. this time doing a runner whilst being chased by wires.
pirates
there’s a big anti DVD piracy thing going on in the UK at the moment. here is the campaign on the street. it’s teeny weeny bill boards on the back of sit down bikes.
walter goes quite mad
here is walter attacking himself with some wires.
lost jumper
there were jumpers and coats all over henley this evening. here is one example.
tea in henley
for esther’s final birthday treat we went to a restaurant in henley which was very nice.
i was particularly interested in their henley 10 commandments:
convenient carry handle
what a simply brilliant idea. a handle !
Communion
it was communion this morning which meant bread and wine for all. esther and kezia opted for a post-service bag of quavers, prefering their cheesy crispness to the sliced white communion fair. the chap behind them is Ian. he’s actually tidying up, but looks more like a child catcher in this photo !
we’ve been studying Samson at church for the last three Sundays. Even if you’d never dream of going to church, i highly recommend you read Judges 13-15 to read this story of sex, violent and nagging wives/girlfriends. (Don’t forget it’s old testament so stuff like forgiveness and loving your enemies aren’t high on the agenda.)
