Oops, headless street entertainer!

I pottered indoors this morning, I knew Tina was due home at some point and I wanted to be in when she arrived. Apart from that my knee was extremely painful today so resting it a bit seemed a good idea. When Tina got home she wasn't at all well and had been sick on her journey home. She bathed and went off to officiate at a funeral, but had been really quite poorly since she came home. I hope that some rest, when she has stopped the sickness, will find her feeling much better tomorrow.
I caught the bus into town as I wanted to get supplies in for Monday and the wood chip paper stripping. There was a great street entertainer, pipe player, and I was so fixed on getting his feathery costume, and struggling with the light, that I managed to miss his head out, very rare that I make that sort of error, but will post it anyway. I always put something in the collection if I take a photo, that seems the only fair thing to do.
I got the items I needed and caught the bus home. We are good to go now!
I also bought some spray with bleach in, the neighbours probably think I have lost the plot, I went outside and sprayed along the bottom of the wall and slightly onto the pavement to try and discourage the dogs messing outside out house! 
I made sure that Tina was okay and there was nothing I could do for her then spent the afternoon pricing some items for the table top sale on Sunday. I went down to meet Darren when he got home, to make him a drink and tell him Tina wasn't well.
Took one picture of the sky leaning out of the window.
When I was out I wore the Sketchers again, the ankle felt pretty good today, but both knees were painful, the right one extremely so. I have been wearing the wedged sandals for months and the Sketchers are more or less flat. So now I think I have put the knees out of kilter. They have settled a bit and the ankle has become painful again, as many steps back as forward it seems.

  1. As you say, oops! Easy done when you’re concentrating on getting something in particular in the shot, but good you’ve added it. I’d have hid it personally, and denied all knowledge of it ever happening :-)
    That’s a good collection of cleaning and wallpaper stripping accoutrements you have there, although I don’t see any disposable gloves. Hope you’ve got some Marigolds :-) You’re pretty much used to people thinking you’re different, so I’m sure it’s not bothering you too much that they might think you’ve lost the plot. Does it work though?
    Sounds as though you need a pair of Sketchers with wedges! You’ll find a perfect shoe eventually, I’m sure. And if you don’t it won’t be for lack of trying.
    Nice sky to finish off with.

  2. I think we have gloves here, I did look at them and then thought we probably had some.
    No, it doesn't bother me what folk in the street think, quite a few have dogs, but doubt it is their dogs that foul our street as they all appear to be responsible owners. We haven't had as much fouling since I cleared up and used spray.
    As to the joints, who knows, but as you say, won't be for wont of trying!

  3. Hopefully you won’t have any dogs fouling near the house when you move. At least the road will be a bit further away than it is now.
