not quite dressed mannequin
this chap looks dapper in his boater yar ?
i think he looks a little concerned, and the little chap over his shoulder in the picture also looks worried
could it be because his trousers are slipping down ?
lots of no
a nice use of a single ‘in this area’ at the bottom there. although i would think that goes without saying.
i also note someone stole the no loitering symbol.
don’t tuch more work needid
we need more signs like this (courtesy kezia)
that thing at tate modern
people building it
and people playing on it
a work outing
i went on an excellent bike ride yesterday lunchtime in aid of general fitness and wellbeing. i’d forgotten it was a bit dangerous to take pictures whilst riding a bike, even if you are wearing a tabard. so here’s a picture of us stationary at a lock.
i can confirm it’s much better than writing regulatory documents. jolly good.
family sports day
jane’s sister and family came to stay over the weekend and as has become traditional, we held a sports day. (the picture above shows the three legged race)
things warmed up with the cheerleaders doing their hoolah hooping
bother-in-law kev spent a while geting in to the zone and wasn’t going to be moved by the pre-match frivolities
before we knew it the egg and spoon race was underway
the oldies showed the youngiest how it was done
it mostly seemed to be about the level of concentration
there were other games involving water, which eventually broke down in to a sponge water fight
bother-in-law (bil) kev threw himself (and his sponge) in to it
but ultimatly the excitement was too much for him
and he ended up with a soggy face (this looks quite impressive big so click for full fun)
people them moved on from sponges and simply started chucking water at each other
here kezia shows her airborn throwing technique whilst thomas recovers from a wetting from esther
as james decided it was time to sit somewhere a little drier.
finally we hung some doughnuts on a washing line which were to be eaten without touching
sarah’s string was longer than the other’s and it was dangling in the middle so she had the hardest challenge. i like how the blurred background on the picture above makes her look like she’s breathing fire (a bit)
anyway, sarah stayed well in to the night after everyone else had finished trying to eat her doughnut. which she managed in the end.
so, all in all, big fun had by all
the scream
this puppet didn’t seem happy at all
trolley stunts forbidden
i can get that you might try the first one (although why anyone would attach a TV aerial to a scooter and then sit on their TV i don’t know).
but why would you try and balance one trolley on the shoulder of someone standing on another trolley ? i see on that second picture the lower trolley driver has lost his window wiper, although his wing mirror still seems ok.
british weather
isn’t britain great. just look at the weather showing on the bbc website the other day. classic stuff.
hassock of the week
what is this strange thing ? it’s some kind of fishy eye octopus type affair.
