Retro

New shop has a load of these old things

And other junk besides

Why would you?

One of the ugliest sofas I've seen in the shop.

And that's quite a claim.

Well, go to the top of our stairs

So I did

Anyone need a bay leaf?

Always handy to have a few ready for the pot, but this may be a few too many....

All that glitters....

Lamp base which has been subjected to a noticeably unconvincing paint job.

Paperwork

All this lot to be filled in whenever anyone wants to make a donation.

And sometimes another form.

And an entry on the PC.

And the filing.

Where's the admin team when you need them, eh?

Hairdryer

After a late shower after hours painting in the garden after an early(ish) breakfast after almost getting my arse into gear.

It's been that sort of day.

Paint away

Bit chilly to be doing this sort of nonsense

Till

A brief break from customers

Spar

Just passing.

That is all.

Excitement building

Have been playing a few tracks just to get me in the mood for the gig in St George's Hall tonight

Keyboard

PC time.

Get on with it

Next job, tidy up the rugs.

Was knackered afterwards

Paint

A start has been made.

Followed by the rain....

It gets worse before it gets better

Loose stuff scraped off, ready for it's annual touch up.

Behind the loons

It's black and yellow, it must be sale time.

Washing up

That is all.

As she is remembered

Watching a clip from the wonderful Spiting Image.

And reliving the horror....

Annoying the public

I had to set this thing up to blast pop trash at the passers by.

You can tell I was impressed.

Shine

April showers.

And bloody cold.

Rugs

Rugs.

In the shop.

That is all.

They must have known....

...that I'd be taking this photo?

This old Welsh chapel was a business centre last time I noticed it.  But it's back to the supernatural for now.

Reaction

My Twitter timeline was full of Thatcher's death.

She was despicable.  And, in the long term, will be seen by history as a disaster and anomaly in the timeline of social progress.

This about sums it up.

DIY fail

Simple job to replace broken latch set.

Except when the bar is half inch shorter than than old one.

And the old one won't fit on the new handle without a fight.

And then the circlip holding it unseats (that's the thin circular bit in the middle and it's not supposed to be there, well not like that)

And then you get it back together again only to find it's never going to work because....

Oh sod it, despair has set in again and I can't be arsed explaining any more.

Tomorrow is another day and I've had a new idea how to fix it.

That won't work either.

Mustard and bike

Framed the bikes.  And a coat went by.

College

Just passing

Although I did do some night classes there, once upon a time

Tracks

There's a railway in there somewhere.

Forlorn

Possibly the least exciting bit of architecture you'll ever see.

Namesake

No connection.  But no 'e' either.

Just passing.

The crossing

Lack of training.
