odd

this door is alarmed apparently. i’m not surprised. it’s been thrown out in to the street and left next to a bollard. it has no idea what will happen to it next. poor thing

here is a bottle of water dangling from a tree and tied to the top of the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park. very mysterious.

here are some lads on a stag night. the one at the front is playing bagpipes and dressed in all your classic bag piping garb (scottish readers can feel proud).
the long shutter speed (caused by the rainy conditions) and negative effect (thanks to negative photo day) cause a nice trippy effect i think.

remember the mole hole ? well it’s now got two gloves on it and even some blue string. it’s a summary of the week’s blogging in one steaming pile !
also there’s an identical pile of dirt in the street where i live at the moment. perhaps i should dig down and see if they are connected by a tunnel.


the gloves and string don’t show up to well because of my choice of photography style for today. sorry.

after nearly three months, the hairy cat is finally no more. last seen it was dropped in to water and all the hair fell off. before that it was very hairy.
jane finally tired of the must in the glass so we put it in a bowl and tried to find the little mouse. but there wasn’t one ! what a dissapointment.
here are photos of
1) initial tentative searching for the mouse with an old pen
2) more thorough searching /mushing
3) added more water to soak the mouse out
4) admitting there isn’t a mouse and flushing down the plug hole


the cat and mouse experiment is now closed. thank you for your cooperation and interest

people like order amongst chaos.
i was delighted to see two blue ford focus estate cars parked next to each in a massive empty car park. SNAP !

random paint splatter on road looks like eye. blogger risks life to obtain photo.

there’s a lovely nature reserve near Henley On Thames called the Warburg Reserve. There is a lot of moss there at the moment. Some of it is growing up smaller plants making little moss-trees which look like mini rainforests.

here is a small chap called benjamin. he has an electronic eye. or so he told us.

more tape fun.

do manx fishes have no tails ? surely that makes them incredibly easy to catch ?

i pass a food shop in the morning which sells a wide variety of goods. I noticed last week that they had put up a poster advertising their shop a little further down the street. it’s a little strange so i thought i’d share it with you.
a boy with two heads:

apples apparently smothered in cooking oil:

it was raining this afternoon so people were carrying umberellas and wearing hats. this bloke on the tube was obviously worried about getting his hat wet so he had covered it in plastic wrapping. now that is a very good idea.

here is a tree which changes colour halfway up its trunk. i thought this was a little strange at the time so i took this photo. perhaps it was grafted.
it reminded me of my old friend who had a false leg and real feet.

i saw this man walking the streets spraying randomly as he went (he had a little nozzle thing which is hidden by the bus stop). i took his photo in case it turns out he was spraying some deadly poison.

i picked up quite a lot of different pieces of paper off the floor this morning, including this, which is a milkman’s delivery schedule.

i was pleased to have found this until i realised there were loads of them all blowing down the street:

this dinner was empty except for an electric drill and a motorcycle helmet
