i’m about to attempt a server upgrade, so apologies if weirdness appears for a short while
searching for dinosaurs on the beach
we went to Charmouth beach to find fossils when we were on holiday. A man in the information desk recommended visiting Seatown at low tide and so we did.
i instantly hit gold (quite nearly literally) by finding 2 £1 coins on the beach in the pebbles
the only big fossil we found was this one stuck in a rock
here’s esther looking for fossils
we did eventually find loads of teeny fossils, but i didn’t take any pictures of them ! Sorry about that
crazy transport
this was a mad train thing at a makeshift park in a farm that we went to over the summer.
it was basically some feed barrels with a hole cut at the top, and a plastic garden chair wedged in. the whole thngs was plopped on to some trailer type thing and pulled by a golf trolley
there was no suspension so our poor children were shaked to pieces (and loved it so much then went on twice). that cow on the front isn’t fooling anyone.

emergency snacks and confectionary
this incident catering unit van was at jane’s half marathon. What a fantastic name for a van. And what a brilliant idea too.
they could have all sorts of advertising messages, like “all events catered for”, or pun around the words incident/instant.
available now for all your emergency sandwich needs.
and if you click on the picture you’ll note on the big version it says ‘teapo’ on the side. which is a nice idea.
page numbered posters on the tube
this is quite up to the usual numbering standards as the number is stuck on the outside of the glass. but it’s nearly the same isn’t it ?
10001 miles on my car
my car started the day at 10,001 miles yesterday morning which was exciting. to celebrate me and it (gender neutral) went for a huge diversion with our friend TomTom on the way home. Mostly to avoid a huge queue on the M4 motorway, but also to enjoy the fun of being controlled (direct-wise) by a computer.
Commuting by car is getting easier, but to avoid most of the traffic i leave home about 6.15am but still sit in queues clogging up the atmosphere with motory-badness.
sorry, we’ve ran out of pasteries at the moment
this sign almost made up for the fact they had runned out of pasteries. but not quite.
have you ever sent me pictures ?
i’m having a bit of blog spring clean because i got an email about something quite exciting. unfortunately it means i need to check about copyright on photos which people have sent me.
i’ve sent emails to everyone i can think of who has sent me pictures which i’ve put on the blog. If you’ve ever sent me a photo which i’ve used on the blog, and you didn’t get the email, could you get in contact pls (details on the right).
thanks – dave (aka funkypancake)
