found stuff
aliens have arrived
i spotted this little space ship on the road on the way to work this morning. i’ve always thought it quite presumptious that alien life forms would be the same shape and size as human beings (or beans).
so it was no surprise to me that now they’ve eventually turned up they’ve arrived in a teeny weeny spaceship on what must be to them a giant landing strip.
i was a little concerned that they’ve parked on the wrong side of the road though, so i suspect they aren’t from the UK originally.
people remains
it’s back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off. the first week we were in scotland (by the way we are only up to tuesday lunchtime in retro-posts on that week).
whenever we go on holiday we always think about whether we would like to live in the place we are visiting. scotland was a bit wet but was incredibly beautiful.
my main concern would be whether there would be enough blogging material to photo. working in london is great for photos, but would the highlands be quite as good. nature can provide some fantastic photos of course, but it’s the human touch on life that i enjoy.
if ever we did move (highly unlikely in the near future i imagine) then i think rivers could provide a solution to my human remains problem. we took a walk along the Clyde in Helensburgh and saw all sorts of junk washed up.
here’s a fridge and a squashed buoy:

my first scottish find …
it’s good to be back
holidays are good, but it’s nice to come home too. especially when the weather is loads drier and warmer than on holiday !
but i have so much to share (700 photos – i’ll try and narrow them down). i’ll do it a week in arrears over the next 7 days starting tomorrow.
back in real-time for a moment, here are two ‘finds’ near our house upon our return. a comb and a snapped plastic spoon.
update: now i’ve looked at how much photos of quality items i’ve taken i think i may spread it over the next few weeks !
it’s a sony
a piece of office history

found photo
here is a very satisfying find from this evening. it’s the best type of photo to find – a passport photo.
but better than that was the way i found it …
i arrived at London Bridge tube station and realised i needed the loo. i finally found the toilets when i eventually found the signs but it was closed and said i needed to go to platform 6 to find the gents. but i needed a ticket to get to the dunny, but a lady let me through the barrier. after i’d visited the john i walked back down platform 6 and this lady was on the floor in front of me.
if i hadn’t needed the bog i wouldn’t have found the photo. simple as that.
i love finding photos when i’ve made some random diversion. it makes me feel i’ve been diverted to them !
lost jumper
there were jumpers and coats all over henley this evening. here is one example.
more treasure
i spotted this little gold coin just along from where i found the jewel . it looks like a little roman coin. perhaps the wet weather washed it up from some underground long lost Roman settlement below the streets of london.
nuts
no bolts, but loads of nuts.
found passport photo
i really will get round to updating davescollections soon. i was thinking about this today and how i hadn’t found a photo for a few weeks. and there on park lane was this little chap waiting for me.
park lane has treated me well for photos over the years.
aluminium meets iron
lots of interconnected aluminium sticks leaning against iron railings. more wannabes i recon
boots
i’m working from home today (8am start instead of 4am as i’ve got a stinking cold and feel like poo), so i was delighted when john sent me these photos of boots in the street outside my office.
it looks like he took these photos from my desk.
looking at the photo, i wonder if it’s a setup by that bollard on the top left hand corner. he looks ready to pounce if anyone approaches them.
