An idea!

Upside down barber shopAbout ten years ago, I started losing my hair. Recently, I think I have figured it out… my hair didn???t fall off, instead it has just slowly seeped through my head and now comes out of my ears, nose and face instead. One of the adverse effects of gravity.

Anyway, this barber shop in Winchester seems to have the solution. No doubt they hang the clients upside down, reversing the gravitational pull and hey presto, a full head of hair again! They were closed when I came across them, but I will be going back again. I will keep you posted!

Geoff drumming up a storm

Geoff DunnI saw a band play with Geoff Dunn on the drums a couple of weeks back. He was absolutely awesome.

I took this photograph of him beating away on his kit. It was an open air concert on a very pleasant summer evening and he really made it rock.

Go green. Go naked.

Naked bike ride
Riders at the London World Naked Bike work their way around London buses during the ride.

The ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. See more details at here: wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org

Abandoned?

bicyclesI am still here. I have been distracted with many big changes…

The bicycle shed at Paddington Station. I watched for a while as owners would return, spend a few minutes trying to locate their bicycle, a few more minutes untangling it from the rest and then set off on their ride home.
