lost thing
frozen soft toy thing on a bench
experiencing both sensory stimulation and risk taking
and i though all modern children’s play things were supposed to reduce risk taking. jolly good i say
don’t stop here please
back to work
kezia sums up how we all feel on back to work monday
12th night
“If you take down your lights before January 6th, the wise men may not be able to find their way.” Although in these modern days you’d expect anyone wise enough would have a map or a satnav. And since everyone has christmas lights anyway, it’s all slightly confusing.
waddesdon in winter
waddesdon manor in a glorious (if rather chilly) winter’s day. all their statues have been wrapped up nicely in protective bags for the winter and looked more than a bit spooky
my mum
we met up with my mum yesterday and had a lovely time at Waddesdon Manor. here she is in and out of focus
and here she is in 3d (nearly)
the other funky pancake
i had an email from anna (you know, anna, from west virginia) telling me she’d just googled for ‘funky pancake’ and found this site. she googled for funky pancake as that’s what she’s named her part border collie, part gold retriever puppy who is just five and half months old !
she kindly sent me a picture (of funky pancake rather than anna i assume – unless she’s a particularly net-savvy pup)
so there we are. however, for future reference, when i refer to Mrs funkypancake i’m referring to my wife rather than this cute looking pup who lives a few thousand miles west of here !
(thanks to anna for letting me post a piccy)
grandmas’ picked
this kind of thing can happen over the festive period
public footpath
there’s something scrumptiously rural about this sign
wordy signage of arborfield
we went geocaching in arborfield a couple of days ago and saw these fantastically wordy signs. Toxicara canis anyone ? made me stop and look
and nice to see a sign suggesting you use your common sense (although they make sure you know what that is by giving a long list below)
and there may be a thin line between playing and practising golf, so they’ve got both options covered. good for them.
abandoned drinks vessels
these were on a footpath running down the side of a very posh public school. see what they teach ’em nowadadys
cool hand
