here is andrew, his finger and the cat. i’ve reread the instructions and this growth could go on for another month and probably hasn’t reached a peak yet. so, i plan to leave the daily updates for now and come back to it next weekend.
once the growth has finished i may move to an autoposy to extract the mouse.
it’s day 8 of the amazing hair growing cat
i suspect we are reaching about the limit of the fur growth now, though i have no evidence to suggest the rate of growth is slowing. i’m just a little scared about what might happen next.
i’m a bit duff at macro photography, but here is my attempt. i’ve tried a few different lighting positions so you can appreciate the fuzzyness of the hair.

i love old technology. here is a hair drying device:
and here is another hair drier and a tv:
i took these photos at the milestones museum
day 7 of the amazing hair growing cat
it’s been out of the bag for a week now and it’s still growing. here is a picture from a different angle for variety

imagine if this wasn’t some weird fur thing, but in fact static electricity made visible by some magical camera technique. i’m not sure if that idea makes it any less eery.
day 6 of the amazing hair growing cat
the fur seems to have taken on a more wirey nature. most peculiar. for the sake of variety, today’s photo is from a slightly different angle

so, you live in a first floor flat in the city, you’ve got no garden, but you’ve always hankered after a shed to keep your mower in.
so what do you do ? obviously, you put up a load of scaffolding and build your shed outside your window.
here is a giant inflatable thing in the middle of London’s business district. perhaps they are trying to encourage the economy to bounce back
we’ve just been to visit the fantastic Pollocks Toy Museum across the road from my office.
here are a few photos of some of the dolls:
and here are some dolls doing a comedy line-up (notice the mysterious floating head on the left hand side):
here is a nice idea. if you run out of office space or meeting rooms, simply order this van and off you go. you can even use it to avoid transport between meetings. for example if you have a meeting in the city at 1pm and a meeting in westminster at 4pm you could work in the mobile office between 2 and 4 and get them to drive across town during that period so you don’t waste any travelling time.
fit it wifi and off you go.
update: looks like British Telecom have just stolen the concept …
here is a random tent set up in the street. no reason as far as i could tell.
they probably set it up in the street as they weren’t allowed to erect it in a royal park:
one chap was cleaning the outside, another the inside, and behind them was a giant poster of a lady. the outside bloke’s phone rang and the inside bloke checked his watch. all seemed very bizaare (like my spelling). two people so close and could even see each other, but totally oblivious to each other’s behaviour !
bet you can’t guess what this is ? it’s a load of fridge doors covered in baby lotion. as seen in arty selfridges arty window display.
Bobbins is another word for rubbish. Spool is another word for bobbin. you spool through an audio or video tape to skip the rubbish bits. a skip is also something you put rubbish in. bobbins is another word for rubbish. and so it goes on.
bargain of the week – a grey zip up fleece with three pockets for £5.99. here i am modelling it in my catalogue pose:
but what’s that logo on the pocket you ask ?
it says Friends Of Kensal Green Cemetery.
we’ll all be a friend of a cemetery eventually. i wish i was in their marketing department …
here is a pile of ice cubes in the gutter. i saw a man emptying them and he let me take the picture which was nice.
here is a device on the wall in the men’s toilets near the business lounge at Tegel Airport. it’s obviously measuring something, but what ?

Travelling is an education. whilst waiting for the plane i learnt how to grow very long parsnips (use a drain pipe) and whilst flying I learnt how to transport pets to australia (use a specialist company – allow for around £1000 per pet including flights (via Bangkok) and quaranteen).
