here are three men having trouble with a piano.  these pianos have been popping up all over london and are jolly good.

i don't think this cleaning vehicle was part of the art (that rhymes) but it was jolly good none-the-less-the-same

090626_850_img_4248.jpg

it's part of this exhibition which i'd love to see.  so i probably will

090626_850_img_4249.jpg

here are two more nearly but not quite the same shots of the same thing

now, i don't know much about animals (although i did put a dead hedgehog in our dustbin last night), however, even i know these aren't horses.

do would you trust the author to tell you how to look after them ?

"your horse is quite short isn't it?"

this chap just caught an eel as i walked past him yesterday morning

090701_850_img_4319.jpg

As a result i've had the mighty boosh's eels in my head all day long (youtube video contains a biological word some might find distasteful, but worth a listen!)

"elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either".

this choir sang at one of the village fayres we went to over the weekend.  the leader of the band was particularly amusing to watch

090627_450d_img_5102.jpg 090627_450d_img_5101.jpg

stepping round the back to get a better view kezia noticed this lady was wearing one of the song sheets

090627_450d_img_5098.jpg 090627_450d_img_5100.jpg

which was handy to make sure the chap behind her didn't forget the words to the adapted version of 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life'

i went to the marvellous breakfast club last friday thanks to russell reminding me it was on.  jolly good chat, although i feared for retinas sitting opposite these three t-shirts and the yellow wall.

it's interest to note your modern fashionable man has wires coming out of his shoulders.

090627_450d_img_5173.jpg

kezia spotted this curiousity

090628_450d_img_5251.jpg

yesterday we went to another village fete.  this was one another dramatic one with people flying in the air (note the emergency ambulance in the background)

090628_450d_img_5264.jpg

there was blatant disregard for the rules by this lady or middling years who was ignoring the instructions that this was for boys aged 3-10 years only

090628_450d_img_5270.jpg

clouds were gathering but the rain didn't drop this time

090628_450d_img_5370.jpg

and how's this for a classic tombola prize.  it's not quite a goldfish, but it is a luxury roller blind. you knew it was going to be a winning stall when they proclaim that every number is a winner !

yesterday was wargrave festival

090627_450d_img_5064.jpg

we ended up sitting for nearly an hour in the road in wargrave as we waited for very late procession to come through the village.

090627_450d_img_5085.jpg

it was worth the wait though to see the medieval themed procession

090627_450d_img_5082.jpg

090627_450d_img_5080.jpg

they even had medieval bagpipers

090627_450d_img_5069.jpg

090627_450d_img_5065.jpg

this car was the least well dressed thing in the parade.  a cardboard cut out horse head stuck on a window screen does not make a horse.  although it was enough to get their advert on this blog

090627_450d_img_5089.jpg

we even managed to find some of the props abandoned behind the local train station
