Bumper sticker reads: “my anxiety is chronic but this ass is iconic”.
Where’s the lie #SundayPixWords perhaps my favourite bumper sticker ever!

A white hand with green nail polish holds up a bottle of juice purchased from a Korean grocery. The contents of the bottle have been overlaid as an English translation.
A white hand with green nail polish holds up a bottle of juice purchased from a Korean grocery. The contents of the bottle look delicious but could harbour unknown allergens …
As someone with weird allergies and a love for zany Asian flavours, Google lens translations are a blessing #SundayPixWords

Paper back copy of the Pinyin Chinese/English dictionary. Also a reverse Chinese/English dictionary, a wonderful concept that lets you look up Mandarin words starting at the last character (which is often more general about the meaning).
Top to bottom: A Chinese/English English/Chinese travel dictionary. Much thumbed during travels in the PRC. An English/Chinese Military and Technical Dictionary. Very technical but sometimes a bit outdated. A Dictionary of commonly used English verbs. Very gramatically technical. Practical and quick Chinese reader. I'm not convinced about the 'quick1! One of three volumes of A Dream of Red Mansions. In English. Still almost unreadable though. It has an order of magnitude more characters than any regency romance novel! Again with the Pinyin Chinese/English dictionary, this one in hard back.
The Pinyin Chinese/English dictionary.
A page from the Pinyin Chinese/English Dictionary showing, among others, the meaning of 形影不离 (Xíng-yǐng bù lí).
It's words Jim, but not as we know them.
Some books with #SundayPixWords and thoughts in Mandarin.
You'll note I have two copies of the Pinyin English/Chinese dictionary (汉英词典), when I was learning and working in Chinese, that book and I were 形影不离 (As inseperable as body and shadow)!

A battered and crooked sign infront of a sandy beach with surf rolling in warns of the dangers (and illegality) of disturbing the Hooded Plover babies in their crude sandy nests. The headline of the sign is "Caution. Chicks on the beach ahead!"
It is a lovely morning here in the 'Bool.
It's a bit late in the season, but I might take a walk and see if there are any chicks on the beach.

A stage with a large projection screen on it. On the screen is a townscape and blue sky with the words ‘THIS IS BORING’ superimposed.
A room packed full of seated people facing a stage. On the stage is a projector screen showing a small yellow car. On the right of the stage, at the front edge, are 6 large wooden letters spelling the word ‘BORING’.

Nearly forgot I had a couple of old BORING photos for this.

A large signalling mast with a flag hoist on its starboard arm reading CAPEOTWAY.
From the retired Cape Otway Signal Station on the south west coast of Victoria
There are two #SundayPixWords spelled out here with flags, 'CAPE' and 'OTWAY'.
Of course that is not the way it would have been done back in the day. They would probably have had a 3 letter callsign starting with 'V'.

A pile of books on my rather dusty bedside table. The top book is The Surgeon's Mate by Patrick O'Brian. The second book, with the title on its spine upside-down to us, is Dean King's magnificent opus, A Sea Of Words; A lexicon and companion to the complete seafaring tales of Patrick O'Brian.
From a few years ago when I was doing another Aubry/Maturin run-through.
I always keep A Sea Of Words to hand for the technical details of rigging/sailing a square rigger.

A rather grungy corrugated iron shed with two flat boards on one gable end painted with the words Bacchus Marsh Homing Pigeon Club.
I've still got some time for #SundayPixWords
Here is the Bacchus Marsh Homing Pidgeon Club. I never saw anyone in or around the building the entire time I lived there.

An old man with a JRT on his arm that’s asleep like a baby. FFS! Yes. I am supporting his head.
#SundayPix #SundayPixWords this isn’t me. It’s our office cleaner. He’s wearing a T-shirt that I need. It says: “Never underestimate an old man with a Jack Russell.” The other picture is me. An old man, with a Jack Russell.

Time for a #SundayPixWords extra! A while back, I put my teenage daughter's text messages over landscape photos. A snapshot for posterity or summat, not sure.

An illustration of a botanical wreath made from rosemary, cornflowers, eucalyptus, fern and ivy. The calligraphy in the middle, in watercolour green, blue, taupe and pink, reads “fuck cancer”

A card I drew several years ago. Two words that make up one of the most important sentences. #FuckCancer

Beginner calligraphy practice, in golden yellow, which reads: “A leopard in increased jeopardy and creased jeans”
Calligraphy practice in green Sharpie, which reads “into the crucible to be rendered an emulsion”
#SundayPixWords
Some calligraphy practice from back in the day. The first is random shit that I wrote; the second, I believe, is a lyric by The Shins.

A page of writing and drawings in black felt tip pen. The words at the top read: Cockerel Cow Horsey Drake Below are drawings of: a mole making a molehill on a mountain; a cloud happily raining on a flower which is thanking the cloud; a boomerang; some birds and a pair of thermal underwear flying in the sky. At the bottom of the page is what looks like some joined up writing practice.

One of the pages of notes that my darling trio, The Kettle Girls, had in a folder of ours. Some of the notes were to help remember lyrics; some were, I don’t know, but aren’t they lovely?

Image of London office buildings in hazy morning light. The text above the buildings reads “”Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." MARK 10:43-44 NIV”
Image of a soft pink rose petal with tiny dew droplets along its edge, blurred greenery behind. The text on the petal reads ‘“The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Proverbs 12:18’
Tall, straight trees in front of the soft morning sunlight; a church blurrily visible beyond, along with a couple of park benches. The trees appear to have dropped some of their leaves and the ground is reddish brown. The text reads: ‘“Walk with the wise and become wise…” Proverbs 13:20’
Image of the sky viewed from the bottom of some steps out of an underpass. There are fluffy clouds above and the steps are lined with railings at the top, with handrails on either side. The text reads ‘“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.” Isiah 40:31 NIV’
#SundayPixWords
Okay, here we go!
I went through a phase of putting useful Bible verses onto photos I’d taken, so here are some faves, and some are sort of appropriate, given… *waves hands about expansively*

A handwritten sign on the top of a silver, step operated trash bin. 'Please don't sit on me. I'm obviously NOT a chair' with a squared face wearing a heavy frown.

Last one from me for today.
Spotted this in a tiny waiting area in a car service center. 😅

Big wall mural in bright colors, with the words, 'Dream Big! Love what you do'.
A work zone with carts & crates scattered around and the word, READ, in glowing white neon against a dark blue wall.
A fake red fire hydrant in a raised square of artificial turf. Basically, a bathroom for dogs. Sign on the tiled wall reads, 'Service Animal & Pet Relief Area'.
