the letter ‘n’
a seat in the forest
whilst walking near the hound parade i found a mysterious chair. i suspect it is art
new found photo
found this photo this morning on the way to work. was face down on New Cavendish Street. this was the only bit I could find.
a strange device
this was in the street near the office. a most peculiar device.
davescollections updated
finally got round to updating www.davescollections.com with the latest two found photos
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
fridge
here is a fridge near Marble Arch. in the background you can see grid locked power outage traffic. interesting that all the lights are on …
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 !
rubbish chairs
i saw two chairs on my way home this evening:
this chair doubles up as a laser printer holder:
and there were two very posh chairs (and a nice table, and a naff table) left here:
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
the roads are paved with ..
beetroot
(at least it is down by the local anotements allotments)
