Scored avocado

It looks like a lemon, I know
In the dark it would probably glow
We can break the embargo -
It's a scored avocado
And waiting for cover of snow

Rocket Number Nine

Either that, or a bishop's hat. Taking of Rocket Number Nine, have you heard this lately?

It won't fit in the bin

It won't fit in the bin

We don't usually do rubbish, although we have featured more than one toilet in the past. Here's another. Whoever put it there must have been optimistic about their chances of putting it a street bin...

Turning the pavement blue

I can imagine the frustration here. The cartridge type screams "cheap", but at least someone's done the honourable thing a bought a ruddy fountain pen. But then to suffer the ignominy of blue ink.... BLUE ink.

Home Counties meth lab?

You'd hope not.

Sweet lovin'

A beautifully lit scene, reminding me of Last Tango in Paris.

Green ear

What a beautiful ear. Much nicer than that one that caused all that fuss, years ago, in Blue Velvet.

Hat

Hat

Found in almost the same place as 'cups' (see last entry). Made all the nicer for the chewing gum splat, top right, which looks like the moon.

Cups

Our Swedish correspondent reports. "a very meagre trip this time. The  Huddinge council's street cleaning operations are a bit over efficient." These cups are nice, however.

Fancy breathing

Fancy breathing

This looks like breathing apparatus from an X-Wing fighter from that Star Wars.

Knackered strawberry

Looks like this fruit was taken down and had the life sucked out of it by a sycamore. Tragic.

Black-eyed 'binky'

Black-eyed 'binky'

Anyone with kids. Is this a new craze, or some cheap, perfectly adequate Wilko's knock off?

Old banger, well parked

Old banger, well parked

Could be a Roman Candle. I don't know. Beautiful parallel parking, whatever it is.

Evil ladybird

Evil ladybird

It seems that, ever since the 1970s, we've been threatened by bugs. Firstly, Colorado Beetles, more recently, Harlequin Ladybird. This lil' perisher seems to have an eye and two legs missing, but should still be bagged up and sent to the lab.
