odd

there are all sorts of obstacles in life.

made my journey more tricky.
grab the sand bag and carry it over the two planks of wood
carefully balanced on two plastic bins.

the clock in our bathroom is having a midlife crisis. It no longer conforms to standard time keeping, instead choosing to amble round at its own predetermined speed. I have seen such behavour from clocks before. The first approach of battery drainage and they lose all will to live.
Imagine if we just went at our own speed and ignored real time. fantastic.
meanwhile our poor clock in the bathroom will get slower and slower until one day soon it will just twitch its minute hand back and forth without enough power to move it on to the next position. and the clock in our living room is always 50 minutes slow. we learn to adapt to these things.

person in photobooth in paddington station.
one shoe on, one shoe off. guess you won’t see this in the photo

maybe it’s a passport photo of a foot.
perhaps the foot will be removed and sent abroad ?
this is in no way related to my find the other day of a photo of feet. though the coinsidence is strangely eery.

getting trapped in a lift is something that happens to everyone at least 7 times in their life according to statitics I just invented. How to get out is the second thing you think of (the first is “how many times have I been stuck in a lift before, is it 6 or 7, and therefore is this an above, at or below average event”).
Here in my office lift are the ideal companions. A saw and a spirit level.

my desk is covered in a fine coating of ‘grit’ this morning. perhaps someone spontaneously combusted over night and their remains are spread around the office ?
I am sceptical about the whole spontaneous combustion thing. i’ve never seen anyone combust, spontaneously or otherwise. i’ve never seen the wind, but still believe in that.
i’ll just have to see who doesn’t come in to work this morning and conclude by a method of elimination

the welly (reported earlier) has moved. it was on a wall. but now it is on a parking meter across the pathway. if the welly is on a journey then i suggest it would make better progress at floor level.
i would love to have seen the jump it made from the wall (which is behind where the photos were taken).

there’s always something strange going on in the local charity shop. particularly the people that work there. last week it was a man dressed as a woman (proper like, not your fancy dress type thing). conversation which i overheard implied he was one of your actual transvestites. i digress. today when i went in there was a lady wearing a face mask in the anti-sars style. though she may be the one laughing in 10 days times. or maybe it’s her that is infectious and she wants to protect the rest of us …
