Zebra stripes

Again this is from last week; it's probably all daffodils and primroses now the mild weather has set in. This horse was a plain old horse until someone painted stripes on him some time back, he's been a zebra ever since. Oh and those gulls are just waiting for Mr Hitchcock to say "Action...."

Sunrise

This was Tuesday at some ungodly hour when sensible people were still in bed.

Four in a row

I think these are Common Gulls, they were certainly very common in the park last week before the snow melted.

To Let

Last depressing picture for this week; just a few doors down from Past Times (see yesterday) Jonathan James shut last December. This was a shoe shop, if you can't sell shoes then times must be tough. 

Out of time

I took this on Monday; by the time you see this Past Times may well have closed its doors for the last time. As you can see there was 70% off everything, even the tables were for sale. The shop, part of a national chain, sold old fashioned jewellery, tableware, sepia tinted pictures and so on; personally I'd call it expensive tat. It's gone into administration citing difficult trading conditions, I think 99% of us are suffering from that.

Store Closing D...

Actually the store closed last year. This is T J Hughes' store on Ferensway, the former C&A for those like me who are of an age. The company went into adminstration late last year and closed loads of shops around the country. All is not lost as the news on the grapevine is that this building will reopen as an oriental restaurant. The reflection is of the railway/bus station.

Here's a household that clearly likes to be connected. I count four TV aerials, a wireless broadband and now a satellite dish. Makes you wonder what people did before all this wonderful connectivity came along.
