2 chairs, two stories

the first chair i saw this evening was a swivel chair. it contained an empty can of beer and an old cigarette packet. i suspect this was once the seat of a smoking alcoholic who liked to face in different directions whilst sitting.

the second chair i saw was made of wicker and contained old egg shells. i suspect this chair was once the seat of a bird

the central cold storage

next to Smithfield meat market is an old building with a massive ancient sign on the wall informing us, the public, that is “the central cold storage”.
I guess this is where they kept their meat cold in days gone buy. it was with some delight therefore that i saw an abandoned fridge outside it’s front door !

photo bits

here is a lost photo. it’s wripped up and over some railings so i couldn’t reach it. there was also a very strong smell of urine which put me off retreaving the pieces. nearly all the bits are face down so I couldn’t see what the photo was of. oh well.

elastic bands

i saw at least 20 elastic bands in various places on my walk to work this morning. i was deliberately looking out for them following a comment added to an old post where i mentioned i had seen elastic bands.
Here are three of the many bands. perhaps the mysterons from thunderbirds were actually elastic bands ?

passport photo

Found by grahame:

He found it whilst at a meeting in London. Let’s let Grahame continue the story:
“I just popped to the loo in the coffee break and, to my pleasure,
discovered a photo to add to your collection which I will hand over to you
in due course (or get it scanned in at the office). For the record:
5th Floor gents toilet
TUC Conference Centre
The picture was laying face up on the hand drier. It was slightly bent,
adding to the appropriately glum face for such a position.”
thanks Grahame. great find.

plant pot on a post

i saw this plant pot on a post yesterday. it was here again this morning so i took a photo. i’ll keep an eye on it for you

in the can

here is one of those cans they put proper movie film in. perhaps it had a section of a latest pre-release blockbuster. i should have gone in to the road, opened it up and sold the contents to a newspaper. but i’m not that kind of chap. so, its contents remain a mystery
