It's all out on the streets today

Things I saw on my way to work this morning...

A man crouched beside a green junction box, trying to match the diagram on his clipboard to the wires inside. He was wearing a bright yellow plastic headset, clamped over his black turban.

A man striding quickly up the road, a pink lunch bag in one hand and a huge carrier containing a Playmobil box in the other. A little girl in a pink anorak and a cream party dress ran to keep up with him.

A blonde girl on the train, asleep with her arm curled round her partner and a huge smile on her face.

An immensely cheerful man with gingery hair, fighting with the ticket barriers before declaring "Ah! It's the green arrow that it gives it away."


As I cycled up Whiteknights Road, the rain brought an unexpected waft of wild garlic with it. A police car with blacked-out windows passed me, ferocious barking coming from within.

All I saw on my walk to town was a decorator's van proclaiming "no job to small". If he had a job, how would he small it?

Not very related, but I think you might enjoy this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22636888) article on the BBC about English words which have been co-opted by the French. Presumably when l'academie Francaise isn't looking.

I just called, to say, I like this post.

Today I saw a man in a tractor brushing Parker's Piece. Yesterday I saw police and sniffer dogs (because they were putting the queen on the guided bus). The day before I saw a heron and had to brake for a bunny.
