On a drainpipe, of all things.
Somewhere in Manchester city centre, can’t remember where.

Random and Weird Phone Shots – Tomatoes at the Bus Stop
So, I’ve had a cauliflower on the fence and a bunch of berries on a Pepsi can in previous RAWPS post, now prepare for tomatoes at a bus stop.
They’ve been waiting for a bus for a while, but at least there’s two of them.
Have you ever spotted fruit or vegetables in an odd place?
Also, is this where I make that to-mah-to/to-may-to joke?
Super Special Random Phone Shot Because I Have Just Seen Avengers Infinity War…
And I know this is not what I normally do on my blog but this time, I have to share. Spoiler free!
This is my Instagram story, which I have saved.
You can’t be serious! A superhero movie starring more than 20 characters! It’s gonna be too packed! No way you can pull it off!!!
But they did!
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo are the true cinema heroes we need!
My Godson is a Cat
Yes, you read the title correctly. My godson is a cat.
If you think it’s too late for an April Fools’ joke, you are quite right. It is not the 1st of April and it is not a joke, because I’m serious. I also dislike April Fools’ tradition, I hate pranks and I find majority of jokes I hear desperately unfunny and lame. Now that’s out of the way, let me tell you about my godson Anthony and why he’s a cat.
This boy is now between 18 months and 2 years old and is also a half-brother to the boy whose hand is in this picture. I thought it would be better to post a photo of him where his face is not visible, even though his parents gave me permission to post about him.
Why is Anthony a cat? Well, I came to this conclusion when I visited his home last Christmas Eve Eve.
- I brought some presents with me in a bag. When I put the bag on the coffee table in the living room, he immediately went to the bag to look inside and inspect the contents. Just like a cat.
- Then, with one sweep of his small arm, he knocked down everything from the said table. Just like a cat.
- He is very agile, easily climbs the furniture without falling down. Just like a cat.
- His mum went to do her cooking and instructed us not to let him into the kitchen, to prevent him getting burned but he insisted on going there anyway, even as I kept picking him up and carrying him back to the living room. Just like a cat.
- Following on from the previous point, he wanted to go into the kitchen because he was so nosy about what was going on there. Just like a cat.
- He knocked the Christmas tree down. Just like a cat.
Any further questions?
Peace out.
Everything is Connected
This sign is outside one of the many University buildings on Oxford Road in Manchester.
Why have I taken a picture of such a random thing? Because 1. that’s what I do and 2. it reminded me of something.
If you’ve watched Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, then you will recognise “Everything is connected” as a sort of tagline of the show. (If you haven’t watched it, then I highly recommend it–it’s funny and clever and has amazing characters, so basically everything a good TV series should be.)
It also reminded me of another thing, non-fictional.

Random and Weird Phone Shots Is Back
Yeah, it’s been a while. Five months since the last RAWPS post–hoo, I didn’t realise it really.
I saw this sign outside the Scribbler shop in Manchester. If you’re not familiar with this retailer, they sell cards, hence the Valentine’s Day thing.
Actually, it’s not that stupid. You should love yourself most of all.
You can also date your own self if you want. Which I’m kinda doing.
Bonus
It’s been 18 months since the first Random and Weird Phone Shot entry so here’s an updated pic. The trainers are still hanging there. They survived many a stormy weather, they’ll probably still be there after the world ends.
But that is a different story altogether.
How Is 2018 Treating You?
I haven’t seen much difference yet myself, have you? But it’s still early, after all, as Neil DeGrasse Tyson never fails to tweet every New Year’s Day, the first day of January has no astronomical significance whatsoever.
At least I’m back at the gym… sometimes.
I know that I haven’t been updating this blog much lately and to be very honest, I don’t really know what to do with it. I paid for the domain for another year but that’s about it. I feel like Phoebe here:
Okay, maybe I have more than a “pla”. I just like that quote 🙂 Hear me out:
I’ve been thinking about doing a series. In some of my past posts, I have mentioned I’m somewhat of a fan of dystopian fiction. In the last year I took some pictures that–in my imagination at least–could represent a setting of such fiction. I would like to get this out there, once I figure out a way to do it. So, yeah, watch this space.
Pineapple on Pizza
I thought it was about time for me to declare which side I’m on in the eternal does-pineapple-belong-on-pizza-or-not debate.
The end.
Hit The Wall?
I feel like I’ve been in a slump lately. Sort of like hitting a brick wall.
I haven’t thought of anything to blog about and couldn’t even come up with anything for the last two weekly photo challenges. So I decided to post about how I don’t know what to post about.
I hear talking about walls is in vogue these days.
Random and Weird Phone Shots – Men at Work
It seems to me I’ve not done one of these for a while (at least not on my usual Thursday), so here it goes:
I hope nobody got hurt.
