Ants, Cars and Shoes

It is flying ant day today, the signal that we are in the midst of summer – not that it has felt like it the last few weeks. This is the day that the ants emerge from the ground to get swiftly eaten by flocks of seagulls. Actually they do it for a good reason, and there is in fact a Wikipedia page all about it! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_ant_day).



There are a few cars around Exeter that I always think are cool (certainly not the noisy Saab that I had to help push start on the Iron bridge last night), I do love this Beetle that is always parked on Exe street.



Just up from it is a Matiz (same model as mine) with some rather hippyish stickers on it. Perhaps I could get some big enough to cover the dents in mine?

Finally I forgot to mention the shoes.



This was sight that greeted us in the function room in the City Gate last night as we started our game of poker. Looks like Clarks were having a training session in the day, as there was a manual called “How to Fit shoes”. I flicked to the first page and it said “Before you can learn how to fit shoes you must learn how to put them on”. Real back to basics stuff!
