My grumpy face was greeted with a lovely smile when my friend Ali bumped into me. I blurted out my tragic tale and like the true friend she is, offered to take the photo on her way past. I was so pleased!

Then something happened, as I was walking down a side street I witnessed, what could have been an advert for true friendship. A girl saw her friend in the distance, waved and then in a Phoebe from friends style run, galloped towards her and her friend did the same. When they got to each other, at speed the girl jumped up, legs around her friends waist and they spun round. Then still hugging (in the middle of the road) swayed from side to side. I don’t know the back story but they both really meant that hug and I felt happy (and slightly voyeuristic) to have witnessed something so genuine.

I made it into an animated gif.

My friend Phil sent me this photo. (thank you!) It’s very peculiar! The chair is so over sized and the bear is quite unusual. This is a rare find in the world of discarded furniture.

This rabbit was so fluffy and was lolloping around. It was love at first sight.

The peacocks were so beautiful and their feathers made an incredible noise as they herded the other birds away.

This duck Goose(?), in contrast was so unusual and slightly ugly looking.

I actually really like this accidental photo. I was so happy that I got to visit my beloved garages.

Also, the furniture season is upon us and I saw a lovely mixture of seating.

Then I saw two very different furniture sightings. The first with a note that was asking for it to be taken, with reassurance that it goes through a standard sized door, displayed from a distance like an outdoor living area.

Then this mess of a pile, including a shoe and toys, amongst other rubbish.

This was a successful walk home.
