cow picture outside a utchers
have a look at what you are eating.
friends for lunch
esther's guinea pig had a friend round. you can make your own story up about what was said
hassock of the week
look at these great hassocks we found whilst out geocaching yesterday
a fantastically high one (for vicar kneelery). And this long skinny one for choir kneelery
additional toilets
quite what is going on here ? are the additional toilets really up that pole ?
smoke going in every direction
which way is up ?
henry convention
these vacuum cleaners were hanging around near st james' tube station looking quite pleased with themselves. you can see their shepherd who was guiding them in to their night time pen to the top right of the picture.
he wondered why i was taking pictures of them so i told him.
belated easter
what with the server meltdown, i didn't get a chance to wish you a proper happy easter and i forgot to post these pictures. i imagine if you thought you had a drink problem that this little tableau might finish you off.
underlined prop and not
two signs opposite each other with different typographical properties. interesting how it changes the meaning. there's more capitalisation in the lower one too. i wish they had version markings on so we knew which one is the improved model.
tackling london's leakage
i can use the lack of comments to my advantage !
award winning charity shop
it's a shame comments aren't working as i'd love to get your thoughts on how a charity shop can become 'award winning'. perhaps they excelled in odours. or colour coordinated clothe rails, or retro vinyl, or number of salad spinners held in stock, or most used wedding dress, or ...
everyone remembers their first wimpy
kezia and i went to a posh riverside town and after duck feeding and play-parking we went for lunch in Wimpy. it had everything i remember - knife and forks, disappointingly untasty burgers and poor service (they never brought our drinks and the waitress couldn't have seemed to have cared less about us being there) !
still, it's great to know Wimpy is still going strong and hasn't changed in all these years !
bloggy badness
just a quick apology for the lack of comments and slightly more random arrival of daily updates on funkypancake at the moment. it seems funkypancake is causing serious problems to the webserver, so whilst we're working on ways to make things better, all comments are off i'm afraid.
hopefully, when it gets sorted, things will be much faster and betterer and lovelyier than they were before and we can all be happier and live longer lives.
so apologies, especially to the brilliant commenters, for the short term disruption to your funkypancake service !
and especially many thanks to matt the web-landlord for all his helpingnesses

page 84
this is such a great picture of the people who are HERE TO HELP YOU at paddington station. it's taken in the station showing them actually helping. And it's page 84 from their giant book of station signs.
chenniss
ah. the classic combo. chess and beach tennis
art
we went up to london to see the crack in the tate modern and the exhbition in the bargehouse. it was very good.
hassock of the week
zoomy-inny
the testing unit
it's a generic testing unit. testing what and whom do you think ?
wildlife photography
tony gets up real close to a heron. click to admire in full glory
rrescription
neon writing is tricky
joined up Ps looks like Rs.
photo courses
i was delighted to get my results back for the Open University course i did last year. you can read about it here I was pleased to get 97% ! These photos were my final portfolio
i should also thank all you kind readers and even kinder commenters who have encouraged me taking photos. i'm simply loving all the comments at the moment - they are the funniest bit of the blog i recon.
i'm now thinking of doing this course at the Open College of Arts Would anyone be interested in enrolling at the same time to swap notes as we go through and each save £100 on the fees ? could be good fun to have a group of us doing it at the same time.
drop me an email if you are interested. enthusiasm more important than skill - the less you know the more you'll learn !
my first pain au raisin
being chocolate free is still a nightmare and i regularly dream of scoffing the stuff. i've still managed to keep it up for several months (i can't remember when i actually decided to stop).
anyway, i've been having croissants for breakfast instead of pain au chocolat, but a cafe i went to didn't have croissants so i had to have either pain au choc or pain au raisin (both seen here).
it was alright, but nothing can ever be better than chocolate. humph.
bargehouse
there's a great exhibition of things at the Bargehouse art gallery in london until the end of the month. i loved it so much i'm going to go back at the weekend.
updated: website here
affordable art gallery
affordable, but to whom ?
page 51
for those who haven't been following the page thing, most of the posters at Paddington Station seem to have page numbers on at the bottom left hand side.
brush
this little white brush was on a white wall with a white background, so i converted it to black and white.
man in the moon passage, london
occasionally when i'm walking across london i see a street with such a fantastic name i have to detour down it. this was one such place, and i ended up getting a bit lost as a result, but well worth it !
