Friday - misty eyed and bereft of tale

[sungod]

I myself am not a collector however I did pick up a cow parade cow from Mijas Pueblo and a cyclist from Santorini.

Temu probably sell the same for £2 but they don’t sell memories.

is that like 'elephant parade'? we've a few of those from when they were in london, years ago now

So, some of those pieces are good in my relativly diminished opinion and some I would happily have on my wall.
However my space is precious.
I'll post the next one from my phone as I've just snapped it.
Pikes in Ibiza has a policy of no phones etc. It's for us "older" guys who want to have fun and not deal with kids all night.
The exception is their photo booth...
Last time I was there David Morales palyed and an it was amazing.

I'm still searching for a frame to mount this in.

Is that art???

Yep, this one was "cow parade". Ours is one of 100 copies and we have the certificate of originality (?) somewhere and the box etc with the artists signature.

Anyway, back to guff. Just had lunch and a small G & T so may well crack on with diy...

yep, art, "the format allows for instantaneousness and spontaneity within the fixed setting of the booth and a controlled time frame"

So, with the aformentioned photo booth clip I could buy not one, but thirty seven new bikes?

Afternoon all,
Shirking from home today but decidedly busier than if I was in the orifice. That's just wrong, surely?
Anyway, finish at 3.30 then a couple of pills and a dram of Brandy chased down with a strong Double Espresso. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Homers Double]

As it happens I'll be in Enfield and Luton next week so not close enough i'm afraid.
I did fancy the stranger things show but after broaching it yesterday its a firm NO

1K could be spent on much snowier days out, and im not averse to that.

Could I ask, if appropriate, what the general conventions are in coming up with a title for these threads, and the style which they are written in?

I believe you can call them anything you like as long as it has nothing to do with having a poo
Im thinking you need a bigger iq to take part
But I went for a iq test last week and it came back negative

Anything goes, although the day of the week must be the first word and extra points are awarded for alliteration and/or obscure quotes, especially where pineapples are involved.

start with the day of the week, indulge your imagination from there, life's too short to be boring

over time you might choose to develop a number of themes, pineapple, nuclear weapon design, ancient greece, surrealism, particle physics etc.

titles related to news etc. would be boring, plenty of that elsewhere

not sure if this forum allows creative techniques such as ǝʞɐɔ uʍop ǝpᴉsdn ǝꞁddɐǝuᴉd ƃuᴉʇɐǝ ʎɐpᴉɹɟ or z̵̧̜̪͈͚͕̏̒ą̵̧̛̮̙̭́̍̀̍̊͜l̷̖̞̮̓̆͗g̴̳̭̈̂͌̽̾̎ͅŏ̴̤̼ text. but you could give it a go

Song titles and lyrics have been included as well. Basically anything goes, but expect to be sent to Coventry if you submit the daily thread after someone else has done it. Good luck.
