Seemingly trivial things that intrigue you

I might discover that my skill in anything other than fairly humdrum landscape photography would make staying in education the more lucrative of the two.

There are 1.2 million middle aged French women interested in you, and all of them have credit cards.

Only Fanfares?

The flimsiness of French scaffolding. This is on a neighbour's house, and it's not attached to anything.
It's not H&S gone mad.

If you post a video of you riding along that you could get mega views on Facebook.

That's fine though because of it falls over it will just hit the building opposite.

Even better if playing a trumpet at the same time.

Saved a few quid by only using 20% of the components, boss will be delighted (until it collapses)
The post with the foot at the bottom should attach under the vertical legs rather than being loosely attached to the side of it as well, I can't even really see how they have attached it.
I wouldnt fancy walking past it, let alone working on it.

I'm almost surprised they didn't use the electric cables to loosely tie it back (maybe checking first if they are live or not). Also notice the excellent trip hazard between the boards in the middle.

You read a lot about how over regulation is stifling growth, and then you see stuff like this and remember how many times you've heard " Steve's off this week. He fell off a scaffold."

Being French, when it collapses the boss will just shrug his shoulders.

Listening to a Radio 4 Extra program on Ravi Shankar. What an amazing musician. Though it troubles me that I can't decide if I love it or it annoys the Hell out of me? Or maybe both?
Might have to listen to some on the stereo rather than the Echo Spot to evaluate fairly.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Not to go all Peter Kay, but does anyone remember ITV's Day of Promise from 2000?
It came up on my bluesky feed and this seems utterly mental and the most Partidge thing ever but has left no impression on me at all.

Simple answer, no.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

They had a bank of phones for people to ring in and say they promised to do something. Bradley from S Club 7 took a call from Rebecca Turner from Stourbridge in Kent who promised to stop bullying people.

Byrne is known for his activism in support of increased cycling and for having used a bike as his main means of transport throughout his life, especially cycling around New York.[77] In Los Angeles, Byrne drives a Citroën DS, but in New York, he does not drive a car.[78][79]
A bike rack designed by Byrne outside the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University
He says that he began cycling while he was in high school and returned to it as an adult in the late 1970s. He likes the freedom and exhilaration cycling gives him. He has written widely on cycling, including a 2009 book, Bicycle Diaries.[80] In August 2009, Byrne auctioned his Montague folding bike to raise money for the London Cycling Campaign.
In 2008, Byrne designed a series of bicycle parking racks in the form of image outlines corresponding to the areas in which they were located, such as a dollar sign for Wall Street and an electric guitar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Byrne worked with a manufacturer who constructed the racks in exchange for the right to sell them later as art. The racks remained on the streets for about a year.[81]
Two bike racks constructed from the Byrne Bike Rack Alphabet, a system of modular letter segments that can be combined to form various words, remain installed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.[82]
Cracking tune that.
NotTerry will appreciate the DS ownership.

FWIW, I'm up to $15 after three days, so should clear the $25 minimum at the end of the month. All for being a photo bore. I'll not give up all the day jobs yet though.

$300 for doing something you were doing anyway is not to be sniffed at. 😃

I'm going to push my luck and see if the local tourist office might sponsor a new camera if I visit all 50 communes (villages) in a year, but if not, I might use this fund to get something appropriate, a step up from the Sony, perhaps.
BTW, your maffs is out, that'd be $150 for the month. A pity I didn't start at the beginning of my stay, as I've missed 20 good days of traffic. It'll fall off quite a bit once I'm back in Devon, though if the sun comes out, and my legs do so as well, that'll give a boost 🤣

My $300 was based on the minimum, and for a year. Pays to be pessimistic about income instead of spending what you haven't got yet. I know a few contractors who lived that way. BT, influencer. 😉

Ah, ok. Indeed. But reckon with about 18 weeks here this year, if things go to plan, I'll be some way above that based on this initial toe-in-water. Whatever, as you say, won't complain, all for no extra effort at all.

So will we need to start paying to look at the photography thread?
