Boy Talk

Young Kay, now scarily in her final year of Primary School, came home with tales of missed lessons courtesy of a local Boys Secondary school who had been over to "Beg us to go there.... As if!". 

Though it may be true that the school doesn't have the highest reputation I was shocked to realise that she was aware of this fact and that she was so concerned that her school were not making the best use of time.

"A waste of my time, Dad, there's no way I'm going there!" she continued...

"Well, errr, ummm.." I countered.

"No, Dad, it's a BOYS school.... for boys!"

Hmmm, she has a point.

*ist D Update

A bit of a BLog Me™® break to vent my spleen, if I may....... I think I've mentioned my craving for the Pentax *ist D Digital SLR (should it ever be released for sale in the UK!).  Well, there's 25 new sample images over at dpreview.  All well and good, but of some concern is the throwaway comment "So far the *ist D is looking quite good". 

Quite Good!!!! 

For £1400 it better be a bleeding sight better than "quite good" if I'm not going to trade in all my Pentax gear and grab a Canon EOS 10D instead!

 

And another Blog Me picture tomorrow... 1,000,009 thanks to all who've participated so far.  Excellent all.

Birds

 

Today I have been mostly re-painting the greenhouse.  But there were also distractions for my camera.....here are three.

Sacré Noir

Majorly impressed by the presence of this washing liquid in the branch of Champion near my bro's house en France. Never mind one for coloured clothes and one for whites, the French have one for Black clothes too.  As one who has worn more than his fair share of the funereal colour I have to say I was tempted to buy a bottle. 

Sitting here in faded black jeans and tee-shirt I regret not doing so.

What do you mean photographically obsessed?

Coma Girl

I don't if it's because he's dead or because someone has spent an awful lot of extra time on it but the "new" Joe Strummer song, "Coma Girl", seems, to me at least, to be more concentrated Strummer than I have heard for many, many years. It's streaming here and available for the UK public on the 6th October.

I love it, excellent.

Cool for Cat

There aren't too many benefits in leaving for work at 6:30 am. But I guess this is one of them. An absolutely glorious sunrise here this morning.

Wrong Side of the Track?

Now, I'm sure no-one still expects the streets of London to be paved with gold.

I certainly don't.

But when our local authority decides to re-pave I do expect a little consistency.  But look what they've done out on our bit of Lea Bridge Road... on the Walthamsow side they've been given nice bricky blocks (which took them weeks to lay) but on our Leyton side we've been given tarmac.  Which took a whole day and a half.

Pah!  And bah!
