banksy might have taken disneyland, but he hasn’t got to the wall of our outside toilet yet – we have.

it’s the logo of the otter brewery, which is of course a cute little otter, printed out on card, cut out and then stenciled onto the wall with some black masonry paint that i found in the shed.

smashing.

kitten avalanche!

we’ve got two little kittens, it’s very scary having to look after tiny creatures. so much i’ve been setting up a webcam to watch them when i’m out at work – that’s pretty sad.

Eamonn Walker – from sickness to ER

Eamonn Walker

bit bizarre this, i don’t normally watch ER – in fact i’ve only ever watched the very early on with a guest appearance by Ewan McGreggor – i left the telly on Channel 4 after Big Brother tonight to be greeted by a face i thought I new.

and damn right if african doctor dude Stephen Dakarai doesn’t turn out to be the guy who played Winston – Alf Garnet’s lodger in ‘in sickness and in health’. now that’s a wee bit of a career jump. bwanah.

The Kitten Channel : All Kittens All The Time

My new website. Lowest common denominator stuff I admit, but pictures of kittens just make you happy. If not try an otter with a bib.

After some three or four different attempts – modeling ballons are too heavy and the rude shapped ones don’t have enough pull for tissue paper(!) – we finally got our indoor kites to work.

best graffito ever. you’ll have to tilt your head to see it right.

I’ve been waiting to get a good photo of this door (by the sanctuary in digbeth) for six months or more. they’ve beaten me to it, but it might still make next year’s BiNS calendar.
