new style london buses
we had the end of the routemasters, and now they are worried about the bendies. and then there were the steamies
the latest seems to be windowless buses where people are packed in longwards.
bulb
‘bulb’ is one of those words which quickly loses its meaning if you keep saying it out loud over and over to yourself.
try it. enjoy it. bulb.
the extinguisher man
very exciting yesterday in the office. the fire extinguisher tester man came. he was wearing blue overalls and blue trousers, and a bright red shirt – no doubt to complement the extinguisher
a new dog sign
look, a brand new british dog sign. i suspect this is quite an old one actually, but it’s new to us
and here it is in situ
slippery floor sign from Vietnam
how’s this for an international slipper floor sign ? this is from vietnam which is where pootlecat spotted it.
stumble is a great international word.
my worst picture ever ?
this made me feel a bit sick so i thought i’d share it with you. it’s a pair (?) of grubby looking dentures
they were left on a bin on the southbank in london (in case they are yours and you want to pop back to get them)
actual church cleaning
after yesterday’s set up shot, here’s some actual spontaneous church cleaning
the best highchair ever ?
here is seb’s highchair. is this the coolest thing on the planet or what ? it’s like a giant ashtray on a stick. but much more healthy
seb and jane
we had lunch with some friends yesterday and it was lovely. here is their excellent little chap, called Seb, in conversation with my excellent little wife jane.
the church cleaning rota
there’s probably something spiritual here about going to church and cleansing yourself, or maybe getting rid of the rubbish in your life. i’m sure there’s a good pun i’m missing here though.
andy not playing charades
andy and gill came for tea last night and it was lovely. a proper grown up dinner event with no children.
andy looks like he’s playing charades here, but he’s not. he’s actually recreating the pose of a paper cut out doll in human form.
twitchy
i went for a walk yesterday afternoon with Richard drummer and Big Eye Tony. our walk took us by some bird hides so we decided to become bird experts.
tony big eye is already a bird expert it seems, but Richard was less so, and, as you are already aware, i’m generally clueless on matters of nature.
here is tony with his fancy binoculars (bins/binos/’oculas)
if you want to know what birds we saw then there’s a list below:
three legged bird
here’s a funny thing. it’s a bird with three legs. you might need to click the picture for a bigger view
