street fridge
a fridge is a white good, but this one is brown. and it may not actually be a fridge. but not to worry.
3 things i won't miss
our holiday bible club ended with a BBQ and outside concert which was good fun. many of the photos i took during the week were projected on to a screen at the side of the band and could only be viewed by standing behind us. which meant there were people standing next to myself and the drummer which was very strange.
anyway, we had a really good week, but what i won't miss most is the portaloos. kezia liked them, but i think that's because she found the flush good fun.
elton arrives
much to everyone's delight, elton came to visit last night.
he started by teaching esther and kezia how to balance cushions on their heads.
kezia was particularly good at it
kezia looks so pleased in this photo
later elton and i went to the pub
but not before taking pictures of elton in a skip looking through a window
plain clothes officer arrests speed freak
here's a young lad on a police car arresting another young chap on a speeding dune buggy thing.
it seems the shoot to kill thing hasn't made it to preschool games yet (thankfully)
big eye gets the bit between his teeth
i saw big eye mending a tap today with a drill.
i told him they mend taps in america simply by pushing them hard. (no need to insert punchline here)
with the bit between his teeth he managed to pull this strange face

flootist em
em plays the flute, acoustic guitar and sings with the band. here she is with chocolate on her forehead.
transparent dummy in a big field
we had just finished practicing with the band yesterday morning when suddenly esther ran in to the marquee and said "quick daddy, you need to come now" in a really urgent voice. i was a bit concerned then she said "you need to bring your camera".
i followed as she ran out in to the field and she she said "look, it's a dummy daddy!". she was very pleased with herself. and so was i.
coordinated rubbish
outside a house in london were a variety of different sized pizza boxes
5 o'clock
as long time viewers will know, i've taken this picture before, but it always makes me gasp when i walk past it. It's on the corner of the Treasury building on Whitehall (on the corner of Parliament Square and Parliament Street [see here] as you walk away from the river)
back in 2 weeks
this shop has had a sign saying 'back in 2 weeks' up for the last 3 weeks, but you wouldn't know as there's no date.
but there is a Soduku and crossword on the newspaper stuck on the window and i'm kinda tempted to use a washable pen and write the answers on the outside of the window !
absolute nonsense
here are some instructions on the back of some stickers that Esther got from a party. it makes no sense what so ever. which is a great idea.

ministers with drills
i should have thought about this before, but i'm likely to see a lot of church leaders with power drills this week. i saw a few yesterday but didn't take their photos. i hope they'll be more.
here's john to keep us going. he's a proper ordained minister. licenced to drill.
jane's birthday
it was my lovely wife jane's birthday on friday and i had been so useless i didn't even get her a cake. in my defence, i am always totally rubbish, so it wasn't anything personal.
life has been completely hectic of late so it was great for just the two of us to go out for meal.
unfortunately we showed our age by feeling tipsy after one pint/one glass of wine and too tired to stay for a dessert or even coffee !
anyway, many belated returns jane !
