We couldn't wait until after sunset to break bread and so lunched here. In this part of the darkest Cotswolds, there is little evidence of Ramadan. Day #169 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by…
Wilcey (with her wonderful new mermaid hair) should have been doing the VAT, but showed distinct signs of ostrichism when she agreed to accompany me to Hobbycraft (she doesn't need much of an excuse to visit this amazing emporium). I…
Good old-fashioned spit and sawdust establishment which was probably once the home of a great deal of pluranimity. Day #167 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
These doors have probably seen many who break the law go through, so at least the pic is relevant to one part of today's word. Although, like outlaws, our local police station is a thing of the past. I think…
The long-suffering friendful MisterMac, re-reading one of the best books ever written. I shall be adding it to my holiday-reading list. Day #165 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
The weather is anything but rafty, but as the grounds of the former Gestapo HQ, this place was certainly rafty during a rafty time. I was in a rush to catch the bus so had no time to investigate why this…
Everyone needs hugs. IMHO, I love hugs makes for a nice, simple prothalamion. Day #163 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
A quick trip to Rust and, having failed to slather myself with anti-insect potion, I suffered a recrudescence of mosquito bites. Day #162 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
As the boat prepares for its next booze cruise ... although I don't think these Danube cruises style themselves as such, but it's close enough for today's WotD. Day #161 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by…
I think recent events at FIFA could be described as a bit of a rixation ... Day #160 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
And as all seasoned travellers know, shoe removal helps prevent the feet plumming. Day #159 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
This stealth bomber flew over us - at rather a low level, I felt. Not the sort of thing one expects to see in the countryside, but it works for the word of the day on so many levels. Day #158…
So this is of a horse, but it's more interested in chomping than frampling. Day #157 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
Being so super-busy at the moment, I didn't have time to go and seek out real nice-but-dim folk. But traffic chaos, Chelsea tractors and this corner of SW3 probably all have some connection with being N-B-D. Day #156 of the…
Do headphones obtund hearing in the long run? Certainly, sitting next to non-noise-cancelling-headphone-wearing people on the tube obtunds my enthusiasm for music. And the Delauney has now been added to the little black book. Day #155 of the second…
Struggling to get the Baked Alaska to flame, but she did get it going and unfortunately it was rather uneven. The crunchy meringue was thus interspersed with crunchy charcoal. I should have said "nabocklish" after her first three attempts. Fun evening…
Another long day without any photo time, so a quick window shot on the way home - this bag definitely scintillates in the right light. Day #153 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word…
Bill paying and I had a few overseas transfers to make. Pleonexia doesn't even begin to describe it - how does money travel through so many different electronic hands, all taking their little slice of commission on the way? Day…
Dog looking bored on account of his owner's quiddle with her mate. Day #151 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
Can't beat a good old junk shop for finding the odd bit of prided. Day #150 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
