glove
transparent glove. perhaps it’s a ghost glove.
R
this blog is brought to you by the letter R. really.
found photo
big excitement !!! found another photo for the davescollections site this evening on the way back home. it had obviously been in a puddle for quite a while as the colour has all washed away.
i was very pleased with this find as it was on the opposite side of the road from where i usually walk and the street lights weren’t very bright.
as always, i’ll add to the main site once i find time to do the Frontpage thing.
pizza with Big Eye
i went to Pizza Hut with ‘Big Eye’ this evening. was very good. as a non dairy and wheat eater it was good to stuff cheesey pizza down my gullet. it tasted mighty fine.
we didn’t dessert, so instead took a photo of the ice-cream machine. it’s actually an ice-cream dispenser and not a machine as such. you’re not meant to take these things literally of course, so i let it pass.
please note: this is second picture of me on the blog in one day, both sporting my new cemetry fleece. i can only apologise and will cut back on the me-photos.
(i’ve noticed no one has commented on the blog since i included a picture of myself) !
instructions for the week
refocused your vision and mission statements.
whilst you are at it, how about creating a portmanteau to describe your activities ? (i prefer the first definition)
another quality funkyblogcake idea.
a cemetery jacket
bargain of the week – a grey zip up fleece with three pockets for £5.99. here i am modelling it in my catalogue pose:
but what’s that logo on the pocket you ask ?
it says Friends Of Kensal Green Cemetery.
we’ll all be a friend of a cemetery eventually. i wish i was in their marketing department …
UK law
UK law and the lawmaking process is quite complicated. however, there are some excellent government websites to help you find out what’s going on.
brolly
it’s stopped raining which is good news. i’ve decided to stop work on my Ark for a while. other people have taken equally affirmative anti-rain actions.
here is a brolly someone has simply cast aside in to the gutter. i bet they’ll regret that once the rains comes back. or maybe they’ve got another one. who knows. who cares.
1 pence and a sofa
1 pence and my boots
sofa (blue)
collage machine
here is a cool thing, and best of all it’s got an Auto button, so you don’t need to waste time making your own art. i love auto buttons as much as i love turbo buttons
click picture to go there !
a rainy sunday
another very wet day. church this morning was excellent. the rest of the day was spent eating bacon, sleeping, crafting and playing dominos (traditional style and toppling).
esther and jane went for a very cold very wet walk and i stayed home with kezia who decided to put on a little puppet show for me
her story was a little confused. it only had three characters – a Wise Man and Mary from the nativity set, and (special guest star) teddy bear from the Three Bears playing the part of Jesus. Or was it Wise Man and Mary playing the part of the other two bears ? All very interesting (and extremely amusing to watch)
a very wet zoo trip
we went to marwell zoo today. it’s our favourite local(ish) zoo.
it was chucking it down with rain and very cold, but we decided to do the British thing and go anyway.
here is kez in the car on the way there:
one advantage of going on such a horrible day was that there was hardly anyone else there. this meant all the animals were really excited to see us ! The penguins were in an especially showy-offy mood:
All the giraffes were shelting in their house, so i was able to get some close ups
we all got very wet:
kids love umbrellas:
Here are some more animals:
and here are some wallabies. also known as ‘wobbalies’ (esther) and ‘big mouses’ (kezia):
Marwell Zoo is usually excellent for getting great animal shots, but the low light level and the fact most of them were hiding behind glass in their warm beds reduced the quality considerably !
ice magic
here is a pile of ice cubes in the gutter. i saw a man emptying them and he let me take the picture which was nice.
it seems a little broke
i think there may be something wrong with the server this evening.
apologies for any temporary lack of viewing
british museum
the british museum is a great dry shortcut when it’s raining. it was drizzling today so i walked through. i always try and take a slightly different route through to see what i can see. Best of all it’s free and they don’t mind you taking photos.
today I saw the Rosetta Stone and some weird head thing.
there was also a map of London from the 1750s. Where i’m sitting now was just fields back then:
(click for big version)
The cool thing is that the George Bush Memorial walk was (mostly) possible back then too. perhaps some blogger from the 1750s proposed a similar walk for visiting dignatories making a state visit to the centre of the empire.
dentist chair
more congestion charge avoidance schemes. this time, a dentist chair on castors
more lost apparel
where there’s gloves there’ll always be hats (and plenty of apostrophes)
my teenage following
did you know there is a secret petition thing going on ?
check out this previous entry.
It was this that lead me to disable the display of email addresses on comments as i didn’t think it a great idea for me to be publishing young girls’ email addresses.
i’m going to write to the TV company and see what i can find out what they plan to do for the under 16s …
psychedelic slick
here is beauty in pollution. the colours were amazing
update: here’s one i found a few months later in the same spot.
