strange banana

everyone loves a randomly shaped banana.  this had more curves than a comedy comparison item which has lots of curves.  (a generic joke there)

continental flea markets are brilliant.  my work colleague suggested we went to this one on our way to the conference on our first day in brussels.

this man was selling somewhere else carefully reflected in his mirror

071128_350d_img_8635.jpg

and i was particularly taken by this picture of a cobbled floor.

graffiti musicans

these people were having a photo shoot next to the graffiti on the south bank.  i managed a sneaky shot from the side lines. technically was a bit tricky as it was dark and i was a long way off.  just so you know !

even street ambassadors (tramps) need hobbies.  there’s at least two in london who make a habit of collecting huge amounts of carrier bags full of stuff and transporting them round london in trollies.  it could actually the same chap come to think about it – perhaps he’s had a shave and removed all the white paint from his coat.

anyway, quite poignant i think.  chap with nothing (we assume) dragging all his found belongings round town in a cumbersome and visually striking way.

makes you fink dunnit.

wonky photo, but nice effect

clive and a spare moustache

071211_850_img_6031.jpg
how do christmas crackers know so much about their owner ?  so often hairless people get combs, and boys get make up items or lovely hair decorations.

at a christmas lunch yesterday clive got a false moustache, not unlike his own moustache.  still, it’s good to carry a spare in case there are any unfortunate facial hair incidents.
