incorrect
i walked past this shop earlier in the week and it was full of jacket potatoes. i should have taken a photo but i didn’t. but today the sign shows bacon and sausages where once the potatoes were.
very interesting.
boot
a biker boot on a metal square
sofa
a sofa but no scaletrics track this time.
lost cat
here is a sad story. someone has lost their cat. we lost one of our cats when esther was little and we had to put signs up all over the village and it was very sad. it never showed up our other cat died a few weeks later. now we are catless. oops. that was a sad story.
anyway, esther has a Richard Scary book about a girl’s baby doll getting accidentally baked in to some bread. the bread then says “mama” and they find it unharmed
when the baker mews, i suspect the cat may have gone the same way.
page 75 and 93
i was delighted to spot two more pages from the Paddington Station sign book this morning.
Interestingly there was another page behind page number 93, but the paper was just to thick to read its number and message.
mouse out of its box
here is a little message left in our church hall. it says “there is a mouse eating biscuits not in a box”.
i suspect we can interpret this message in different ways.
another unknown celebrity
i haven’t a clue who this celebrity is. and i suspect you won’t either (even Tim who seems to know all the celebrities). you can be forgiven for your ignorance which is due in a large part to my poor photography.
i need a camera with a bigger zoom and more pixels. If you are reading this Mr Christmas then please put that on my Xmas list.
this filming involved fake snow which was blowing all over the place and causing the presenter (seen here with white boots on) to get plastic snow in her eyes and to eventually storm off). i got some snow on me. it was plastic.
just what london needs
more moody streetlights.
who is this ?
i walked past this chap earlier and realised he was being filmed. i had ruined it by walking past him. oops. but it did give me a chance to go to the other side of road and take these photos.
who is he ? i vaguely recognised him.
here is his head:
fancy building
i’ll return to this building on a sunny day for some better photos. i like how they have hidden their airconditioning.
confession
is this result of a corporate makeover for the Catholic Church ? Management speak has converted congregation confessional boxes in to ‘client admission centres’.
world breakdancing competition
this is a fine sign. watch your step if you are in the breakdancing competition.
turning the tables
the oft-unviewed side of a picnic table
tug-o-war
there was a massive struggle this morning involving three men pulling on a massive rope which was also attached to a massive lorry. the middle of the rope went down in to this pub basement and by some cunning means they were lifting a barrel.
fight against terrorism #2
on a comedy and terrorism related theme, i went to a very high security government building for a meeting this morning. i put all my valuables (camera, pedometer etc) in my bag before i arrived so they could all go throught the x-ray machine.
reconstruction
the man loaded my bag on to the conveyor belt, turned and looked at me, then turned back, pressed a button and …
the fight against terrorism #1
we’re all on heightened alert. firemen are practicing their worst case scenarios (with dogs) in abandoned tube stations.
they announced on my train on monday that we should all keep our hand luggage near us to prevent terrorism. on tuesday they said we should keep our hand luggage by us so no-one stole it (you obviously can’t trust a terrorist).
they even shut paddington station for an hour yesterday morning as they found a suspicious package, which eventually exploded (because the police blew it up – it wasn’t a bomb)
so what would today bring in the fight against terrorism ? razor blades. what ? yes, complimentary razors for anyone of shaving age (and gender) walking through paddington station.
so at least if an attack comes we are all armed to fight back.
