what about other people's safety ? and why just sitting, leaning, climbing being banned ?

street embassadors delight
i love the street embassadors who live on the streets of london. this was an absolute classic example. it looks like some crazy 70s funksters front room , complete with psychedlic carpet, period furniture and glass drinks cabinet
but look closers and you realised it's just set up in a side street with a nice little sign inviting people to sit down and join them for dinner. pity i spotted when they were all out partying or something. but what a brilliant insider outside thing !
the best highchair ever ?
here is seb's highchair. is this the coolest thing on the planet or what ? it's like a giant ashtray on a stick. but much more healthy
cupboard in two places
the bottom bit is trying to look like a utility company's cabinet
4 sofas
yesterday was the day of precarious furniture so it was nice to see 3 sofas balancing out in the street.
chair in a forest
there's only so far that castors on the modern chair will take you. this one got grounded in the mud in the middle of this dark forest.
chairs
here are two chairs i saw this morning (in very different parts of london):
the score was 2 all ...
... yes, that's right. it's a draw(er)
you can never have enough pillows and cushions on a hotel bed
how much comfort do i need ? it's only me in this little hotel room.
i've so many cushions i feel like lying them all over the floor and play a random jumping game like the kids do at home.
but i suspect the person in the room downstairs from me won't be too impressed !
the council goes one better
here is a council street junk collecting van. it contained items of furniture, white good (fridge, cooker), trollies, mattresses etc.
it was like the funkypancake blog doing a roadshow.
chair-tastic
i walk from paddington station to tottenham court road in the mornings and i see a lot of stuff no my way. sometimes there's a theme which only becomes obvious once i reach my office.
today's theme was obvious quite early on. and continued throughout my journey.
around the bins
how many times have you wanted to sit next to a bin for a while but had no convenient place to rest yourself ? well, i'd have had no trouble this morning if i'd wanted to sit next to this bin as there were not one, not three, but TWO seats provided.
if i'd sat there i would have pondered the circularity of throwing a dustbin in to the dustbin (as seen on the right of the left hand picture). i may also have been able to consider doing a little ironing (as seen on the right of the right hand picture)
outside cabinet
this massive piece of furniture is OUTSIDE my hotel next to the main road rather than inside. very strange. but nice to see when going out in the morning.
abandoned chair with a view
i found a few chairs in undergrowth on holiday. here is the first one.
finding abandoned stuff in the countryside is harder than finding abandoned stuff in london, but it's also some how more rewarding, and often visually more attractive.
