Lesley's Loot

It’s interesting that this illicit trade prints symbols on their packets. Each one conveying it’s own meaning and this one’s of no exception. Some of you are familiar with the three wise monkeys; hear no evil, see no evil and say no evil which relates back to Japanese philosophy. Today though it’s meaning can also be seen in an opposite way; so instead of keeping with your moral principles of avoiding evil and helping you lead a steady path of staying pure you seek out all that is bad such as hearing harmful words, looking at terrible imagery and spreading words maliciously with immoral intent. What ever images these packets convey they’ll always adopt some negative side because after all they’re doing harm by selling these drugs.   

Looking into the past to create something new is another way of making a fresh start and there’s no better example than this find. Remember those western movies, where the cowboys chewed tobacco instead of smoking it? This activity stemmed from the native Americans and was later adopted by the new settlers ever since Christopher Columbus landed there. So here we have it ,nicotine pouches. These act like chewing gum as they come in different flavours except they contain nicotine. Once the pouches loose their effect and flavour they’re then placed conveniently back within the container in a separate compartment from the fresh supply which is a rather neat idea at preventing street litter.  

  Another tie, this one’s been personalised with a name tag. 

This pink pig, if squeezed, will make a horrible honking noise which is a delight for any energetic dog but also a great source of enjoyment for it’s owner as pooch scurries around after it’s squeaky play mate.    

  This posters mocking our obsession with fitness combined with laziness. That said it was not long ago that people never bothered disposing of their dogs waste, they’d just let their pooch do it where ever they wanted unless you were more of a considerate person and even then you’d see it on the sides of pavements. In some cases you’d smell it too. It’s been some years since I stepped in some dog muck. Worse still when I was a child I’d been rolling down a bank at school and had come home with foul smelling dog filth in my hair; poor mum had to wash it all out. Sensibly in this case it’s all down to health and safety these days, so people are fined heavily if they’re allowed their pet to do it’s business in the street. There are now specially designated bins and bags and that take care of all that these days. Now that’s progress.

  Auugh, this little strange object was unearthed by workman in our garden. It must have been accidentally abandoned by my brother just as he was being called in for tea, back in the 1970’s, or in from the coming rain or finding another distraction like a friend coming round to play. I’ve since popped it back, probably to be found again in years to come by another relative, perhaps my brother’s grand child or even great grand child wandering what it is they’ve found. It’s embossed product details reveal it’s been made in Hong Kong,1973. This country was where most our child hood toys were made; cheap labour I’m guessing.

This KFC hat was found abandoned not far from it’s fast food chain outlet, Ken Tukey Fried chicken. Now this could mean lead into a few possible scenarios; number one, the resipiscent dropped it by accident on his way home from a busy day frying food or, number two, they’ve lost their job after a dispute at work or, number three, they’ve handed in their notice as they’re sick of the zero working hours, or number four, has moved onto better employment.

This rat has been seen around our yard for the past two weeks. Amazingly I found him flattened in the shared drive way. I’ve also spotted them along one of my regular walks too. They scurry along nipping into near by bushes when anyone comes along down the path. Yes it’s been exceptionally hot this year; a record high apparently.

And these girls certainly did bitch after I witnessed the four of them being exceptionally last they came down the street all dressed in tight mini dresses with the middle one with this announcement draped around their body. They continued to behave in this abandoned fashion by dropping this garb in the street later.
