Monday Stock Blog: Books and Music - Two of Life's Essentials

Books and music = mind food

So chow down on these booklettes!

Then wash them down with a nice cup of hot steaming tunes...

(and some random pavement art)

This may, or may not, have already have gone home with us.

A book of poems about animals - this also my, or may not, have gone home with us (we like animals, OK?!)

A subtle gift for a foe.

Everyday things, like animals?

Whe ned thees

Books fans! A book fan.

"The police jam wings on Tom Jones"

"Bad Tom's hot space genesis"

These cheesy 80s postcards are all reproductions of pavement art (Note to Kids: this was what there was before 'street art')

Apple Day 2013!

This Saturday (just gone) was the second, yearly celebration of Apple Day in the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter.

Bristol Cider Shop provided the apple rolling hilarity and we did some silly games with peoples faces and that. Normal service then.

Here's some pics!

Back by popular demand - The Apple ID Parade (what have those naughty apples been up to!). Can you guess all six types of apple?

Guess these famous Adam's by their Adam's APPLE only! Can you?

Children amass for the first round of Apple Rolling

Tasty Apple Snacks!

Monday Stock Blog: MEN!

Men, huh? They wear clothes. And occasionally accessories. Here are some examples of what men could wear if they were like, TOTALLY HOT! And near the Christmas Steps. With cash. Between the hours of 11am and 6pm. Monday to Saturday. Well, best make that 11ish. Cus, we have this cat and she has emotional problems, so sometimes we're late. It's sad, 'cus she was rescued, you know? Can't really think about, else I tear up, oh god! Tearing up - here's some men's clothes wot you could buy at SHOP this week:

This shirt may look 'average' but those three little men over the pocket are FISHING!

Classic dad-classic

Cosy!

Cosy AND patterned

Some crazy dude/ette thought of the idea of ties with blunt ends and the world has not been the same since. IN A GOOD WAY!

Crosy (it's a new thing - cosy and crusty in one go)

When you hear the words BRACE BRACE - adopt the brace position.

This will be empty once you visit SHOP, right? Right?!

Channel Fred Perry in this ... erm, Slazenger polo shirt, hmmmm....

Man-Urp!

Best tux jacket, like EVA.

Steptoe-chic

Damn, used the caption already (see above)

Become an amateur magician by magically donning this waistcoat!
