These dog statues (ornaments?) were outside a shop. When I went inside, the owner was painting one. It takes 16 hours from start to finish!
I saw two old typewriters for sale today. I wonder if they are bought as ornaments or if people fix them up and use them? I learned to type on one of these and I used to hate changing the ribbons, and untangling the keys. You really had to hit the keys hard too. I wonder how many young people today know that the return key on a computer keyboard comes from the carriage return lever you had to hit to get to a new line?
A pretty door. The sign on the left (with the triangle) points indicates a bunker, where the public can shelter if something happens.
I rather liked this puzzle.
Even though they were first designated ‘art’ in 1964, these are still instantly recognisable as Andy Warhol’s work. Although Warhol did not design them himself; he appropriated them from James Harvey, who had designed the actual Brillo Box in 1961. I guess Warhol did more or less the same with the Campbell’s soup can.
I wasn’t sure what these were. Maybe something approaching a gorilla or a sloth?
I know that feeling
At the moment, it does not seem like it will. Every day we seem closer to WW III
There is a book about everything. Sadly, this one did not seem to sell well…

I learned to type on the typewriter! We we were tested for speed and errors. The electric typewriters were easier to us. Did you also have the very long typing books?
Yes!
