kezia
kezia has been most entertaining this morning. she started the day by marching round the house banging her drum whilst playing the kazoo.
and later she instisted on carrying the plastic santa all round town whilst we went shopping.

here are esther and kezia on the train:

christian bumper stickers
christians are good a corny slogans. that makes me proud.

(via i like)
skin in my bin
and here’s the second song: Skin In My Bin MP3 (386KB).
it’s a story of a man who loves a woman too much with a catchy singalong chorus
quite good looking
i promised that if you didn’t provide any good suggestions i’d give you some music from when i was a poor student. the poverty was not just financial, it related to talent too.
so here’s the first one: Good Looking MP3 (845KB)
It’s some old folk set to music. back then i had very long hair, but i don’t think i looked too much like a girl.
some readers
i was completely un-indated with photos for the readers faces celebratory annual blog gallery exhibition.
if you ever comment on the blog or ever pop by for a read then send me a photo and i’ll add you. it’s nice to see who we all are !

spam charades
have you noticed the trend for spam to include random nouns ? i just got one with the subject line which includes “exorcist fireproof buttercup lacquer”
but what use those random nouns ? it seems a shame to delete all those spams when they’ve obviously been sent especially to my email account by someone who genuinely thinks i want to buy their product (i don’t, but the spammer doesn’t know that).
So, i propose that you print them out and use them for your name game of spam charades.
we’ll need to work on this idea together a bit more.
for starters, what is the indicator which the performer has to do to indicate that the thing they are miming is a Spam ? If you can describe it, i’ll try miming it and take a photo to add to this entry (which is currently photoless)
big eye and pizza
after my lunchtime square dinner, it seemed appropriate to have a round tea. so pizza it was. with big eye tony.

random item
here is something you don’t see everyday. unless you work in a factory which makes them i suppose. but i don’t, so i don’t.
notice the early evening shadow. lovely.

Simon Callow
here’s a classic celebrity spot – it’s Simon Callow, of 4 weddings and a funeral fame. he was walking down the road in the opposite direction to me and by the time my camera he’d got a long way !
But it definately was him.

hand trouble
waitrose is posh. as is Marylebone High Street. but not posh enough to have hands on it’s posh waitrose at marylebone clock.

cat matching
here is a sign about a found cat. i don’t think this is the same cat that was previously lost (unless it’s in disguise, which it could be, because cats are quite cunning).
however, i wonder if the original cat loser would be interested in taking in this newly found cat. i have telephone numbers for both parties from the signs, so i could arrange a meetup.

stone clock
here is a nice clock chiselled out of stone. it’s probably stone age or something

happy blogday
hoorah. one year of blogging completed today. people i’ve mentioned this to have said:
“only one year ? it feels like longer”.
i’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.
unfinished restaurant
i went for lunch with colleagues today in Brick Lane which is famous for curries. a new restaurant had opened which sold …. curries.
if you want to find it, simply walk down Brick Lane. it’s on the right and is between two other curry houses.
the restaurant and food was very nice. but there weren’t any plants in the plant holders:

and there weren’t any fish in the fish tanks:

but luckily they served nice square meals:

tower of london
i’ve never been to the tower of london. i know others have and have said it’s very good. here is a photo of it from when i popped out of Tower Hill tube station earlier.
