Saturday film

Dog Day Afternoon is one of my favourite films of all time.  Based on a true story, Sonny (Pacino) robs a bank, and what follows is nothing short of unbelievable.

Please please check it out, you won't regret it.

'What doesn't kill you will make you stronger' is right up there with 'a change is as good as a holiday'  in my most-quoted mum sayings, I'm not ashamed to say.  It's all about the mummy-wisdom!

But hands up who hasn't wondered this?  No hands?  OK then..

What came first? The ladies or their shadows?

I don't want to seem like the kind of person who spends her time scanning the dirty footpaths of London looking for something to photograph - believe me, I'm not.  Or at least I try not to be...

But these three inch high ladies just jumped out at me when I was dandering home this evening, and I absolutely love them.  I love the way their shadows have been made to look like normal street stains - or were the stains there before and the little ladies were added to fit?  I did spend a few minutes staring and pondering.  No definite conclusion was reached.

 On the topic of footpath scanning, I must confess that Mr K and I stumbled across a giant novelty cheque on our way back from swing class last night, and were delighted to have our photo taken in a mock donation.  So maybe I am a street scanner.  (And also very immature.)

Happy Birthday Bob

You are a complete wonder.  I love you more than you'll ever know.

i just  know that the lovely Hawk&Fallow would love these little treasures.  She has quite the thing for birds, you see, and maps.  And all things pretty, really.

Sunday song

pity there isn't a proper video, but, what a fantastic song.  It's definitely my Beatles flavour of the month.*

*disclaimer - this changes more often than once a month.  With such a great back catalogue, how could I just pick one?!

I agree!

it took beloved redhead precisely two 1am texts to get me signed up for a sneaky day trip.  I'm a sucker for the place...

yes, beloved redhead and I have just booked our (now habitual) trip to Paris.  I can't wait!!  Is there anywhere in the world like it?
