pub lunch
yesterday, whilst the girls were at a party i went to the pub and had a giant steak and ale pie and chips whilst reading the paper. what a treat.
chocolate party
esther and kezia went to a fancy party yesteday which involved creating lots of chocolate confectionary.
how cool is that !
holiday shooting
when we were on holiday over the summer, the girls encouraged me to shoot some dry pigeons. there was something primal about shooting a gun whilst encouraged by my wife and daughters.
i got lucky with a couple of shots thankfully so didn’t completely let myself down !
bill mallonee
Ian organised an exclusive evening with Bill Mallonee, a singer of americana (and friend of top american musicians like peter buck etc apparently)
between his songs he did comedy patter and all was good.
like all the best musicians he did lots of gurning whilst playing
tube fashionistsa
here’s my homage to Going Underground‘s underground fashion thing. all people showed here allowed me to take their photo.
green hair is SO cool.
very pointy shoes are cool too.
things i can only tell you …
well, so much has been happening that i haven’t caught on camera.
yesterday i spen the day with MPs and other industry good-bods at Portcullis House then a drinks reception at Number 11 downing street (just downstairs from where Tony lives – in fact we heard his kid running about).
of course modern security means you can’t take photos etc which is how it should be.
hot-topic blunkett walked past whilst i was in portcullis house, but i suppose it is his office.
and i bumped in to Moira Stewart again close up in the street. i asked her if i could take her photo and she said “oh please don’t” so i didn’t but then we had to walk down the same small bit of street together for 20 seconds. just as we parted company she looked me in the eye and said “thank you very much for asking, i really appreciate that, have a good day”. so i pass that on to you dear reader.
BLOG MESSAGE
have you used funkypancake photos for anything exciting ? mashups etc ? if so, can you let me know and i might post something to celebrate my 10,000th post next week.
Also, i’ve ben asked whether funkypancake can be archived at the British Library. If you’ve let me publish anything you’d rather not be archived, let me know by the beginning of November.
this sign says it all (and plenty more)
i wonder if they should have bought a bigger sign board
jane and a dog sign
i can’t be sure but i think this is a dog boutique.
everyone knows a bootique sells shoes.
modern office
it’s 2006. we should all be working like this nowadays.
