Hanging around

 


I think from memory I took this quick photo as I was leaving my hair appointment one day. The man in the photo looked like he was pacing back and forth waiting for someone outside the chemist next door.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

maybe waiting for his medicine. You caught him mid step in a pose that screams "pacing about waiting". Nice catch.

I love a shot which gives a glimpse of life. Well done.

I bet people think I'm pacing too, but usually I'm just trying to achieve 10,000 steps.

Nice street photography!

I did some pacing this morning when I came out of my hair appointment -- We'd driven together and Bill ran some errands. It's hard to just sit still and wait!

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe.

These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
