gloves
submitted photos
here are two photos sent by me dear readers.
on the left are some humanoid state-side bollards sent from cheryl. she questioned whether these chaps were bollards since they were doing the same job.
my motto is “if it quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck” (unless it’s a cunning cat trying to catch duck by impersonating them). so, yes. i think it’s a bollard
on the right is a glove from nottingham sent by brother-in-law kev who has just moved up that way and likes sending me pictures of gloves
glove
glove in luscious green grass.
luscious is a word which used to be used a lot by teenage girls (when i was a teenage boy). as in “that’s so lush”.
maybe they still do.
i also saw this rubber glove and its suspicious looking bag (which was empty)
UPDATE: Having not seen the word Lush for nearly 20 years, i saw it an hour after posting this picture. see hear (look sea)
triple feature
look what i found in our local supermarket – it’s a glove on a slippery-sign bollard
the glove plant folly
i thought i’d seen a nice purple glove in a plant pot this morning but it turned out to be these plants (with a spoon nestling in the background).
i was quite glad they were just plants as i was concerned that someone had stolen my new business plan, which is to create a line of knitted goods which have more than the usual set of parts.
i’m thinking of 6 (or more) fingered gloves. you’d still be able to wear them, you’d just have an extra finger hole available.
or what about a jumper with three arms ? Or trousers with three legs ?
is anyone willing to prototype any of the above for me ? i think we could be on to something with the 6 (or more) fingered gloves so perhaps we should start there.
i think this art-concept (for that is what it is my friends) needs a name. something along the lines of ‘extra-digits’ or ‘more-of-the-same’ but i’m sure you can help me here.
be great to get something in the shops before Christmas.
a feast of finds
look at all these things spilling out around this bin.
there’s a genuine roman plastic pillar:
an ironing board:
and a glove:
gloves of the (yester)day
gloves seen on the way home last night
twin gloves
we’re in for a cold winter in the UK apparently. it’s global warming (hey?). bad news for the environment, but great news for glove spotting.
it’s not even really cold yet and here’s a red glove in a black glove. this means someone has already started wearing twin-gloves.
gloves and a high visibility vest
it’s a sign about gloves.
zach and a glove
we spotted this glove on the way back from church but because we had visitors i couldn’t walk down the street to photo it for you.
luckily zach was keen to track the glove down and provided the ideal excuse to go and photo it. so here is the glove. and here is zach.
hippo gloves
these gloves might have been shoes. difficult to tell.
they obviously belonged to a teeny weeny baby. when you are that age your hands and shoes are interchangable anyway.
hiding glove
they can hide, but i’ll always find them.
