a great piece of techno-junk

i just love this machine which was left out in a car park by a hospital.
It’s not as good as this classic piece of medical equipment (which i saw in a museum)

not quite abbey road

the art of photography is spotting something which is about to happen and grabbing the moment as it does with your camera. if you are photographing a glove that can be quite easy.
here i saw three cleaning trollies heading for a zebra crossing and i though “aha, abbey road“.
so i starting taking my photos to capture the moment they all went in a line

and just as they did, two mopeds turned up to block the view

and before anyone says anything, yes, i know there were three of them, and they were pushing cleaning trollies and there was a central reservation and they were heading right to left, not left to right, and it’s not actually on Abbey Road.
it was never going to be that beatles cover was it. oh well.

software bug

here’s a funny thing. it’s a ladybird wandering over my computer screen. it had just walked between ‘delete’ and ‘junk’ and was heading for the word ‘thunderbird’.
this picture also shows the quality of emails i was receiving on a friday afternoon. someone had sent an email to a mailing list i’m on simply stating ‘please ignore’. people didn’t.

further up the street were hundreds of little gum scars, zapped away by the high pressure gum busting jet

ricky gervais (the second spot)

i walked up tottenham court road yesterday on the way back from a meeting and thought to myself “i’m going to see a celebrity in a minute” and 2 minutes later i bumped in to Ricky Gervais ! I asked him if i could take his photo and he said “of course” in an ‘extras‘ rather than ‘the office‘ style.
here he is in full holding a cup of coffee walking past NatWest Bank
