Liverpool, UK: Look at me, I'm in the sea (sort of)

Look at me!

I'm in the sea!

Well, Sefton Park lake...

Can you read what it says?

No?

Oh well, you'll just have to admire the fact that I've managed to find the only stone in Sefton Park Lake and I'm stood on it...

HAPPY MONDAY!

Tour de France 2014!

The 2014 Tour de France starts in Leeds today, so I chalked a bike on the carpet in work and made Mary Anne Hobbs pretend to cycle it.

It's OK to be Grumpy.

Sefton Park, Liverpool: Feeding Squirrels

I haven't chalked in a while because my head has been full of other stuff.

So yesterday I went to my favourite place in the North, to clear out my cluttered mind...

And what's the best way to free up some brain space?

Go feeding squirrels, of course.

Yo!

Want a monkey nut?

Yup. I said a monkey nut.

Don't look at me like that. You LOVE monkey nuts.

The old man I met in the park last week told me so...

Yep, it's a nut. Stop looking so petrified and make my day by eating it.

Finally.

This one wasn't out of my hand but I tried...

...and I chased a few horrible pigeons away in the process.

Aah.

Hey everybody! I'm back on my bike!

Hey everybody!

(This is me trying to get my message, body AND bike into one photo.)

I'm back on my (chalking) bike!

HOORAH

It's only been 5 days, right?

AND IT'S SUMMER!

Such perfect timing.

Liverpool, UK: Chalking and walking with the (model) dog

My dad posted me a model dog because I said I wanted a pet.

He's cute.

And super adventurous.

(Don't look at me like that. If I am going to be mocked with a model dog for a pet, I'm going to treat it like a REAL one, take photos of it and then send them off to my dad so that he thinks I've completely lost it)

Dogs don't do that.

Get off the bench, you're embarassing me.

Friend of yours?

Hope he comes home soon.

Don't even think about it.

I did say the ducks wouldn't want to swim with you today...

There's no use giving me those eyes.

And no, they don't want to be chased by you either.

That's more like it.

King of the world.

What's that?

That's Sefton Park Palm House.

Hm?

Can you live there? 

Don't you think you'd get lonely in there? 

Let's go for another walk...

Morning boys!

Fellas!

This day has been great! What next?

ARGH.
