here is a slightly older picture. once again we see the hidden eyes. a key feature of esther’s current art.

polls

i don’t know it they’ll work very well, but i thought i’d have a go. so you now have some lovely polls to fill in on the right. we can all learn about each other in aggregate. the polls should rotate randomly. possibly.
let me know if you have a good idea for a question (and a few answers) or have any problems.

kezia the frog

here is kezia with her self-made frog hat on. she insisted on wearing it when she was having her bedtime prayers. it restricted her view slightly.

the age of chivalry is dead. official

here is a hanky. it’s on the floor in the station and no one has picked it up.
it used to be the case that ladies would drop their hanky to attract the attention of male of the opposite sex who would lean over and return said item to the lady of the opposite persuasion. (i suspect i may be over wording this slightly).
but the very fact that this was left on the station proved that this approach to dating no longer works. people would rather go speed dating instead it seems.

clock at a funeral directors

here is a not very brilliant picture of a clock outside a funeral directors. it’s constantly reminding us that our time on this planet is very much finite and time is ticking by.
funeral shops are funny old places. they never really get to meet their clients properly.

how bins work

have you ever wondered how bins work ? here is one handily displayed in a cross section so we can see how it all fits together.
someone has put their rubbish in a paper bag. the paper bag sits in the metal bin. the metal bin (the ‘actual’ bin in this case) is then slotted in to a concrete holder which has been purpose built for the purpose.
brilliant isn’t it ?

old groovers

remember this chap ? well he was out yesterday with a couple of pensioners dressed up as funky 70s disco dancers with wigs. it was very scarey. their strange jerky arm movements were particularly disturbing.

budget priorities

i spotted this newspaper sign yesterday which related to the government’s budget statement. you can see what kind of coutry modern britain is by the which things the papers think will concern us most. there were few mentions of the new VAT free status for church repairs …

thirsty work

here is john outside my office drinking from a giant water bottle. he’s been constantly thirsty ever since he got bitten by that foaming-mouthed dog a few weeks ago.

black beauty

this street cabinet has been resently repainted with anti graffiti blobby paint. it’s as black as can be yet seems to be really bright because it was reflecting the sunlight.
it was really quite attractive to look at. i might get our car done in a similar style.

pigeon love

spring is in the air and the pigeons are getting amorous. these two were snogging so passionately i couldn’t get a decent photo.

quality meats

everything about this shop screams quality. click for a bigger view. the door on the right is presumably unconnected with the main shop.
