shifting a piano

here are three men having trouble with a piano.  these pianos have been popping up all over london and are jolly good.

Ascension of Polkadots on the Trees

i don’t think this cleaning vehicle was part of the art (that rhymes) but it was jolly good none-the-less-the-same

090626_850_img_4248.jpg

it’s part of this exhibition which i’d love to see.  so i probably will

090626_850_img_4249.jpg

here are two more nearly but not quite the same shots of the same thing

090626_850_img_4246.jpg

090626_850_img_4251.jpg

these are not horses. i think.

090628_450d_img_5274.jpg

now, i don’t know much about animals (although i did put a dead hedgehog in our dustbin last night), however, even i know these aren’t horses.

do would you trust the author to tell you how to look after them ?

“your horse is quite short isn’t it?”

give way

eels

090701_850_img_4318.jpg

this chap just caught an eel as i walked past him yesterday morning

090701_850_img_4319.jpg

As a result i’ve had the mighty boosh’s eels in my head all day long (youtube video contains a biological word some might find distasteful, but worth a listen!)

“elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either”.

a perfectly potty choir


090627_450d_img_5105.jpg 090627_450d_img_5104.jpg

this choir sang at one of the village fayres we went to over the weekend.  the leader of the band was particularly amusing to watch

090627_450d_img_5102.jpg 090627_450d_img_5101.jpg

stepping round the back to get a better view kezia noticed this lady was wearing one of the song sheets

090627_450d_img_5098.jpg 090627_450d_img_5100.jpg

which was handy to make sure the chap behind her didn’t forget the words to the adapted version of ‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’

i went to the marvellous breakfast club last friday thanks to russell reminding me it was on.  jolly good chat, although i feared for retinas sitting opposite these three t-shirts and the yellow wall.

it’s interest to note your modern fashionable man has wires coming out of his shoulders.

another village fete

090628_450d_img_5251.jpg

yesterday we went to another village fete.  this was one another dramatic one with people flying in the air (note the emergency ambulance in the background)

090628_450d_img_5264.jpg

there was blatant disregard for the rules by this lady or middling years who was ignoring the instructions that this was for boys aged 3-10 years only

090628_450d_img_5270.jpg

clouds were gathering but the rain didn’t drop this time

090628_450d_img_5370.jpg

and how’s this for a classic tombola prize.  it’s not quite a goldfish, but it is a luxury roller blind. you knew it was going to be a winning stall when they proclaim that every number is a winner !

wargrave festival

090627_450d_img_5078.jpg

yesterday was wargrave festival

090627_450d_img_5064.jpg

we ended up sitting for nearly an hour in the road in wargrave as we waited for very late procession to come through the village.


090627_450d_img_5085.jpg

it was worth the wait though to see the medieval themed procession

090627_450d_img_5082.jpg

090627_450d_img_5080.jpg

they even had medieval bagpipers

090627_450d_img_5069.jpg

090627_450d_img_5065.jpg

this car was the least well dressed thing in the parade.  a cardboard cut out horse head stuck on a window screen does not make a horse.  although it was enough to get their advert on this blog

090627_450d_img_5089.jpg
we even managed to find some of the props abandoned behind the local train station
