Completely failed to capture the real meat of what was going on here, which was a couple of officers out of the car, questioning the driver they'd pulled out of the car they'd pulled over. They looked a bit jumpy though, so I didn't feel like pushing my luck. Still, nice colours.

I always wanted to shout that out. "STICK THE SIRENS ON! Take him alive." Go! Go! Hang on - what? He's parked up? Oh.

Sauntered up Midland road to the station to purchase me a post-prandial perambulatory caffeine slurp. Saw these chaps sauntering up ahead of me; sauntered up behind them, nonchalantly raised my lens and snapped 'em up; sauntered off again.

This lady was cross. I think she was cross with the police guys in the car, who seemed quite happy to let the community types brush her off. I mean, why bother getting out of the car if they're already communing with the community, right?

If you tell people often or long enough that the people in "you and me did it" really ought to be "you and I" (as I'm the subject of that verb), what'll apparently happen is that they'll ignore it for ages, and then all of a sudden, over the last year or two, develop it into some sort of meme, whereupon they all start using the subject "I" in places where the object "me" is required. "A photo of my partner and I" - huh? Is it a photo of I? No, no, and thrice no. It's not. It's a photo of me, isn't it.

The most crushingly irritating thing about it is that people make a point of doing it.

On Saturday I went to have yet another puncture repaired, and hopefully delay the next similar incident, by having some new tyres fitted to my bike at Lock 7 Cycle Café. On wandering along Broadway Market to pass the time while waiting for the work to be done, I chanced on the Artwords bookshop, a sister to the one on Rivington Street. It's a treasure trove. Several times I realised in the course of my visit that I was just gazing, mouth agape, at the shelf- and tablefuls of gorgeous, fascinating, beautiful books. Spent so long browsing that it would have felt really rude not to take anything with me. I love this place. I'd love to find a sort of cultural Shangri-La like this hidden in big city hills, a literary, linguistic and licentiously visual labyrinth, with room after room of tomes and quartos and lavish lithographic layouts, and spend days and weeks and months absorbing and soaking myself in the splendour, luxuriating in its lushness. ]]> Lock 7 Cycle Café.

Or just a top-hatted dude with a stripey shirt, lying on his back pretending to be a dog having his tummy tickled? Or just apparently collapsed while doing a drunken zombie/ghoul/sneaky-monster walk? Not that either of those wouldn't be quite good in its own right, but I don't know, maybe I read too much into these things. Maybe I just try to connect things up too much. Anyway, nice picture.
