view from the boat
the boat trip took 11 hours. not sure why. but in the morning i saw this which was nice
france is
very hot. no photos as computers don,t recognise my memory stick reader. coming soon hopefully.
handrier
this handdrier on the ferry was guanteed hygenique et economique for 5 years. after that all bets are off.
on the boat
leaving for the uk
in the hold
i could never be a sailor for a number of reasons. fear of drowning even in calm sea being the main one
take a kitkat
sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. of course ‘enough’ is only realised after you’ve had too much and by then you can’t back up.
so there you go.
rawl plugs
see the picture. BT tower in the background. they fastened the tower to the ground by screwing it in to a giant hole.
see the foreground. they are doing the same again. a giant drill bit prepares the hole. a giant rawl plug is added. they then bring the building and simply screw it in. Probably with an automatic screw driver type thing.
if you’ve ever seen the very top of BT tower you will see they opted for a Philips style crosshead rather than a straight slotted. you can learn about screwing here
hide and seek
they’ve hidden the BBC. Or maybe they have wrapped it in a terrorist proof wrapper.
clock coincidence
how weird is this. i bought a clock (the old one in the picture). i took it for a walk through central london. i didn’t have a bag so i carried it in my hand.
i turned a corner and there was a man with a clock in his hand ! A similar model, only newer. he was filming a feature on coffee for the Discovery Channel. It’s a pity the program wasn’t about bizarre coincidences !
the weirdness of space
got home. people everywhere. hid. too busy. too awake. too tired. need holiday.
massive map of london bus routes
fantastic map of london bus routes. excellent in A3. fantastic if you are planning on walking across london as you can see how it’s all laid out. hoorah.
words alike
sign and sing contain the same letters yet are different words. the same applies to fires and fries.
try and use alternative words today and see what happens
surely there are higher forces at work around here
shirley their hair fire farces hat worse abound there
a celebrity morning
as you can see below I nearly saw Kylie and did see nigel havers. I also saw that bloke off scrap heap challenge who gets excited about old pieces of metal. he was at paddington station waiting for a train. didn’t get a photo. sorry about that
nigel havers
after not seeing kylie i did see nigel havers:
he posed nicely

nigel with a scarey man
