Prepared in store.

I nearly bought a bun today, hot bacon and egg from Morrisons, it said on it as if to tempt me even further, 'Prepared in store'.
Prepared in store is the Morrisons - and any other supermaket, mini mart or happy shopper's way of having us believe its 'better' somehow cos it hasnt been made off site by some soul-less machine churning out approximations of food. "Its prepared in store Sir, it has been lovingly crafted by our finest Boulangerers (I made that word up) and once prepared its is sent via carrier butterfly to our bespoke wrapping facility on the top floor where it is gently wrapped in the finest papers know to man ready for your delectation.

I was convinced, then I thought about it.
When I was at school there was a dude who came in late once and his excuse was "I was sniffing glue last night" (ask yer dad) "and I got so high I woke up in France, I had to swim back, thats why I'm late"
He works in Sainsburys now.
In fact when I thought about it more, most of the bottom 10% of my year at school went on to work in supermarkets or fast food joints when they left - I assuming the others couldn't pass the "can you stand on one leg?" entrance exam.

Yeah, thanks Mr Morrison but no, I don't think I'll have the 'Prepared in store' bacon and egg bun you offer, not when I know the kind of person who might have prepared it.

Ode to a cave.

I know Hockney has done this years before and probably much better than I, but I wanted to record the momentous time my garage was clear - just for once.

M-zone stickers - ask yer dad - and a hacked
'SKATEBAORDING IS NOT A CRIME'
sticker... but badly hacked.

has to be ingested anally though so I'm still 50/50 on it)

NEW DELIVERY!

SWEET! Fresh in, boxfresh and 4 brand new, hot outta the mould MUNNYWORLD figures from KIDROBOT, my favourite toy shop.
These are the sweet new 7inch versions of TRIKKY, RAFFY and FOOMI.
I cant wait to paint them.



Thing is, they might have to wait in line behind this lot!

Yeah. Looking at them all now, I think I might need therapy.

Still, if they look as good as the last ones I painted
that might be therapy in itself...
7inch Glow in the dark Munny...

4inch Mini Munny...

4inch Mini Trikky...

4inch Mini Raffy.

This Raffy was the first one I painted,
when I began I had only one idea about how to paint him, this is it.
Geddit?..
one idea.
Maybe on his 7inch brother I'll drill out 2 eye holes and leave them empty
cos right now I have no idea what I'm going to paint on any of them.
(See what I did there?)

Thankyou I'm here all week.

30 minute treehouse

We were playing outside today - war as usual - when I thought it might be a good idea to have a lookout post in the tree. 30 minutes (or so) later and we had a neat little machine gun platform...
hammer and nails and measurements by eye...

the legs, its like 7 feet high....

nailing down the platform...

job done. it aint pretty but it works and all the lumber was just laying around so it cost nuffink. sweet.

MEXICO WEEK

We had a week full of Mexico themed events at work this week, a great atmosphere and I think it broke the funk we have all been experiencing for a while. I had to break out the Luchador mask.
I'll fight ya, but nooo buttin' (thanks for the pic Mistress Kenobi)
