Round And Round

Tomorrow is Headbanger Wednesday, and the theme this week is circles. I was lucky to win it last week, so have been hunting high and low for something worth showing. Here's one of my runner up ideas; little circles that make up the names of popular fast food that is available to buy when the shop is open. They are tiny bulbs that light up at night to advertise the takeaway.

Stairs And Stares

Here's Marmalade, well being Marmalade! She's now taken a liking to sitting or laying on the 7th step of our stairs. She also now likes sleeping at the bottom of our bed during the night. Usually on top, or very close to our feet, so we have to be careful and not disturb her. Wait a minute, who's bed is it supposed to be??

Burn, Baby Burn

Intrigued by a roaring noise outside my office last week, several of us left our desks to have a look at what was happening. Looking out of the window, we saw this roadworker burning off the old yellow lines, in rediness for them being repainted. I had noticed quite a few 'No Waiting' signs tied to lampposts that morning & wondered what was going to happen.

Please Mr Postman

Taken at the castle, as part of the children's play area. I like the way they've given the post a happy face and added an arm to make it look more human and a bit of character.

Cheap As Chips

Here's Mr Orange himself David Dickinson. I don't know if it was due to the cold weather, or not being on television, but he didn't look as much like a satsuma as he normally does. He was there to open the new gold buying shop and chatting & signing autographs. There was also a man on stilts, grabbing some attention as well.

Oyez, Oyez, Oyez

I heard a town crier in the city centre today. A bit unusual considering that most people communicate by either e-mail, mobile phone or Facebook. Anyway I listened to what he was shouting about. He was promoting the opening of a new gold shop tomorrow. I knew about it already, as I had read an advert in one of the freebie newspapers we get each week. The shop is officially opened by non other than 'Mr Orange' himself; David Dickinson. he's not really orange. It's just that he has a perma-suntan which makes him look like a satsuma when he's on the TV. Of course I plan to pay a visit, to see just how orange he is in real life!
