fantastic signs
look at these signs ! fantastic or what. i think they are genuine too.
a few minutes earlier i had walked past a van with a ‘contains radioactive material’ sign on the back.
it’s funny how days like that happen.
peak dwell time
it’s all about KPIs (key performance indicators) and targets these days isn’t it. how are you getting on with your station top trumps (little britain version here)
this one is further down the line if you are heading in the right direction (or is that left) than this one
child’s fitness bike
i saw this box in the rubbish outside a sports shop and i was quite shocked. they have exercise bikes for 4 to 8 year olds ! You can buy it here
the great thing about this bike is you can put your kid in front of the telly, give them a can of coke and chocolate bar in your nice warm house so they can get fit, instead of running around in the garden/local park.
the absolute final xmas dinner (for 2005)
yesterday we had our final xmas dinner. this time for the ‘telco team’
here are john, walter, harry and pete.
here’s pete’s pudding pie
and here’s my cake. i used to be known as cakey-dave you know
possibly a leopard
is this a leopard or a cheetah ? whatever, it was moving quite quickly up and down its cage and i managed to get one shot with its head vaguely in focus !
pink hat
it’s cold out there.
photographers all over the abbey
here are a load of people with digital SLRs all climbing over the ruined Abbey in Reading.
That’s Abbey as in church rather than the building society
boy 55
another one for davescollections, this time found by a cash machine near the station in Reading.
found negatives
i found these negatives last month. i’ll pop them on davescollections too.
gloves
green glove
white glove
black gloves
blakes lock museum – a diversion rather than a destination
due to chicken pox potential infectiousness i took kezia to a museum rather than church this morning (my logic makes sense somehow).
after much travelling (lots of which was walking by the water (canal) under water (rain)) we ended up at blakes lock museum.
neither kezia nor i were very impressed when we got there as it’s not very big and not very interesting (for 3 year olds).
i imagine on a nice sunny day it would be a nice diversion if you happen to be doing a canal walk in Reading, but as a destination it was disappointing but at least we had no contact with pregnant ladies !
