It's time to prize open the double doors on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar. Thank you to everyone who's joined me in my investigations of my 'Random' photos folder. Today is of course, the nativity! But what's this? Not one but FOUR scenes (I do love a nativity...) Merry Christmas one & all... Bx

Black & white photo of a policeman on an old motorbike (I know nothing but gonna guess at 1930s?) A German shepherd is sitting on the back carrier with his front paws on the police man's shoulders and is wearing goggles. They both look happy.

As we eye up tomorrow's special double doors on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar , we open Door 23 to take us full-circle to where we began on Day 1 of this deep-dive into my 'Random' photos folder... A police dog on a motorbike. Truly what (my) dreams are made of...

Photo of someone holding a Tesco Finest packet showing some ham roughly shaped into a fish shape. It's pink and glossy and nightmare-inducing.

Oo, Christmas Therapy Monday - just time to open Door 22 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar to reveal... Tesco Finest Goldfish-shaped Ham... (I believe this is in Europe somewhere where shaping ham into fish shapes is a thing apparently...)

Meme of famous cop report from 2020 of an officer saying "a large boulder the size of a small boulder".

Door 21 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar is a throwback to simpler times when large boulders were smaller. #GoodTimes

Old newspaper illustration saying 'Here's a Queer Cat - despises other cats and humans, but consorts with poultry'. Black & White pen Illustration shows a tabby cat sitting amongst chickens with caption 'The Cat and its companions'.

The deepdive into Bob's 'Random' Photo Folder on his phone continues with the door of Day 20 opening to reveal... a Queer Cat... #BobsRandomAdventCalendar #ConsortingWithPoultry

Photo of random shaped coloured candles including rabbits, hippos and flowers with text (as printed) 'Candls made with Santa's smell $2'

Time to open Day 19 of #BobsRandomAdventCalendar . Oh, today it's some festive smelly candles from Facebook Marketplace. Lovely!

Screenshot of Robbie Williams on a talkshow with automated captions 'Edna Taylor This' instead of 'Head Nor Tail Of This'.

It's Door 18 of our deep-dive into Bob's Random Phone Photos folder for #BobsRandomAdventCalendar . Oh, today it's Robbie Williams on Graham Norton when the captions couldn't understand his Stoke accent.. #EdnaTaylor

Homemade street sign mounted on a hedge saying 'please go slowly round the bend'.

A week to go and #BobsRandomAdventCalendar is starting to run out of doors! But there's a few randoms left in the photo folder so let's have a peek at 17... Today it's a helpful street sign.

A snowglobe nativity scene with Joseph & Mary outside and baby Jesus inside the snowglobe.

Door 16 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar and we must be getting close because it's our first nativity scene! "Don't shake the baby, Gerald!"

Photo of a cute black & white terrier puppy on a chair behind a desk bearing a sign saying 'Sergeants Office' (no apostrophe!) He looks very intent as if he's shouting at a subordinate to 'solve the case'!

It's Day 15 of #BobsRandomAdventCalendar - what could be behind today's door? Oh, it's a small sergeant terrier who just wants you to 'solve the damn case!'

Supermarket Aisle 2 signage saying CAN FISH / MICROWAVE/ SOUP.

Ahh, Sunday. Just back from walking the dogs, now back in bed with a mug of tea and poking open Door 14 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar. Hoping for a picture of a bell or a Christmas wreath but no, it's an existential question to start the day...

Museum sign for 'Kick in de Kok Museum' in Tallin, Estonia.

Good mornin', good mornin'... (I may have watched Singing in the Rain last night). Let's open Day 13 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar ... Ah, it's an Estonian museum sign.

Photo of a baby's board book showing a house and a cow that has tactile patches with words 'Touch the COW. Do it now.:

Door 12 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar and it's beginning to feel a lot like... it's time to touch the cow. #ShoutyBabyBooks

Photo of shelves in Dealz with header saying 'Health and Beauty' with two shelves of Cillit Bang saying 'hurry! while stocks last!'

I forgot again! It's my busy hectic lifestyle... Bob looks out the kitchen window vacantly... Let's open Day 11 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar - a seasonal peek at the 'Random' photos folder in Bob's phone... Ah, today it's #Dealz and their Health & Beauty Offer of Cillit Bang... #ClearComplexions

Blackboard restaurant with 'pulled pork wings' written in chalk.

Ooh, Door 10 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar ... let's have a peek... Oh, it's the pub menu I saw in Dublin a couple of years ago offering 'Pulled Pork Wings'... #PigsMightFly

Steet sign for East Grimstead Courier showing the day's headline which is "Man with cocaine had 'old trousers'"

I'm a bit late opening #BobsRandomAdventCalendar today due to circumstances beyond my control (I forgot). Anyway, Door 9 reveals... an old local newspaper street sign (is there a proper name for them?) Anyway, #OldTrousers

Screenshot of an Irish Independent article showing two men crouching in woodland by a tent. Text says "up to 18 men will strip down, pack themselves into the lodge and the door will be sealed up : The call of the wild"

It's Therapy Monday so I'm carefully opening Day 8 of #BobsRandomAdventCalendar ... A seasonal deep-daily-dive into the contents of my 'Random' folder in phone photos... Ooh, I think this was a "men's retreat news article". Not my childhood memories of Jack London's novel if I'm honest...

Photo of a shop sign typo saying "£1 each. Stapler With Motives".

It's a Sunday lie-in with a mug of tea on a very wet & grey Mayo morning. Time to peek behind #BobsRandomAdventCalendar Day 7 for a smidgen of random joy...

An old advertisement saying "Don't kill your wife with work! Let electricity do it" It's unclear if the joke is intentional

Good Weekend Morning. We're opening Door 6 of #BobsRandomAdventCalendar today... Joyous! So, let's take a peek behind the door at... An old Willesden Electricity Dept advert.

If December is kicking your arse - as it often does, lovely Bob has some distractions for you to take a moment for yourself. So far I’ve been loving #BobsRandomAdventCalendar

Google photo of a man holding a clear pyrex mug containing baked beans. Bizarrely there's a lot of bean juice and his hand looks odd but it doesn't appear to be AI. Hopefully.

It's time to open Door 5 on #BobsRandomAdventCalendar ... what could it be? Oh, it's a man holding a pyrex mug of hot baked beans...

Photo of Ethel & Dot from EastEnders in the 1980s. Dot is wearing a purple blouse, pearls and a fag. Ethel has a hat and a cardigan and holding her Willie (a pug).

Good morning & it's time to open Door 4 of #BobsRandomAdventCalendar - a deep dive into the 'Random' album of photos on Bob's phone. We pick Advent Door 4 open to reveal... Ethel & Dot from EastEnders!

Newspaper clipping saying "So Afraid She Said Yes - An Atchison woman admits that her her husband proposed to her one night when they were sitting up with a corpse... she was so afraid he would... leave her alone with the body if she refused, that she accepted. She has wondered since if being left alone with the corpse would have been worse".

I'm a bit late doing this but I only thought of it last night in bed... Welcome to #BobsRandomAdventCalendar . I have a 'Random' album in my phone photos where I collect... random photos... Thought I'd share one a day here for your bemusement/amusement. Behind the door on DAY 1 : POLICE DOG SIDECAR
