Sunday Mist

I was suffering from intense cabin fever having spent the week on the couch with my leg up, so once the plaster came off there was no stopping me from getting some beautiful fresh Bucharest air (cough cough). I had to source some locations for a photoshoot so I packed my camera and aimlessly wondered round Bucharest. As usual for a weekend it was very quiet and the lingering fog added to the ghostly calm.







Around 4pm it started getting dark, so I went on a long metro ride and sneaked a few pictures of some stations before I got caught by some security guard, who obviously thought I was spying for the KGB. You're not allowed to take photos in the metro which is a pity cause I found some nice spots. Maybe i'll just chance it and see what happens. If you don't want to be charged as an accessory I recommend you avoid the highly sensitive photo evidence below.

Last Week...

my poorly leg
a photocopier waiting for treatment in A&E
A bandaged doorhandle!

... I had an argument with a taxi whilst on my bike. I lost and am now spending 9 days at home, confined to the sofa with my right leg in plaster. Coinciding with this disability is the fact that my two cats have decided that now is the time they want to have sex with each other. So, here i am on my sofa, surrounded by assorted missiles I can throw at the amorous couple when they start getting hot under the collar! Oscar is off to the vet this afternoon to get his bollocks chopped off, and I for one will be happy with that!

Above are some pictures i took on my phone whilst in the hospital. And before i get abuse for portraying the hospital as a dump, it wasn't. These just caught my eye and offered up some light relief to another wise painful experience.

Garden Gnomes Maker's Plastic Prostitutes



A Romanian entrepreneur has come under fire for putting plastic prostitutes on the street to advertise his garden gnome business.

Neighbours in Lilieci, Bacau county, complain the realistic figures distract motorists and are an unsuitable sight for local children.
Cristi Birgu, 27, who has just set up his business, defends his "aggressive advertising" and says the dummies will remain outside his house to drum up trade.
Apart from garden gnomes and prostitutes, he makes reproductions of Laurel and Hardy, Elvis, sports stars, cartoon characters and animals.

Mr Birgu said: "So far, my girls have attracted a lot of beeping from truck drivers but not too many customers. Sometimes I am afraid somebody might have an accident, arrested by the view, you know."

Resident Gheorghe N said: "I don't think it's moral to display such objects on the street.
"They are a bad influence especially for children not to mention there are a lot of people with respect for God here and who don't tolerate such things."
