gloves

alone ?

or with a friend ?

we’re definitely moving in to summer gloves. rubber gloves are increasingly popular with people doing things with chemicals, like painting, staining and things with bunsen burners.

gloves, combs, nail brushes and pegs all used to lure us in to this shop.
why do they bother with such things ? if they’d just had a picture of a glove i’d have gone in.

here is one of kezia’s gardening gloves (every 3 year old should have some). it was on our living room floor being illuminated through the window.

i bumped in to a friend on the tube last week i hadn’t seen for about 3 years. he’s called al, but i call him alvin.
and then i saw him again randomly in paddington station a few days later.
on one of the times i saw him i also saw this glove

we’re getting towards the end of the glove season in the UK right now, so here’s a few i’ve been holding back.

i saw hundreds and hundreds of gloves whilst i was doing the london marathon, but i decided early on there was no point trying to get photos as i couldn’t keep up with them without stopping (and causing trouble for those behind me).
but if you ever want a new jumper, gloves, hat or even a bum bag, then it’s worth following a marathon course. it’s full of discarded cardies.

here is a typical glove

esther and kezia’s grandfather reporting a glove sighting near our holiday cottage. so my brother in law and i took our children in search of it.
we found two. and a muddy old hat.
