101 uses for a tincan



We went to visit Michael's old pal who lives on a canal boat an hours drive from us...Good use of tin can to prevent rain water going into the exhaust of his tractor.

101 uses for a Norwegian jam spoon


I bought a tapestry in a frame in Norway, which I want to make into a cushion cover..so in the car on the way back from the cabin I improvised a nail bending device by using a spoon.

101 uses for an oil drum



Just back from Norway, spotted half an oil drum being used as a BBQ next to Lake Mjosa near Hamar. (the water isn't usually as high as it was that day)

101 uses for a huge lorry


Again this use isn't that exciting, but I am starting to see a pattern of heavy objects being used as a place to attach red and white tape as a safety barrier. This lorry is outside Chatham Building at MMU. Chatham building is being improved, as well as a new build next to it...so a lot of building work is going on. (The builders were laughing at me..seems to be an occupational hazard).

101 uses for a bag

It really is getting harder to find things for this blog at the moment, I need to get out more. I noticed on the way into work on the train how I, and other people,use their bags as make do tables. I will ask the next person I see doing this if I can take their photo, although as I see them most days on the train, they might start avoiding me.

101 uses for an old railway carriage



As seen on Mobberley station. There is a row of old railway carriages being used as storage sheds. I seem to remember them being at another station when I first started travelling ,to house animals on a small holding.

101 uses for a phone box


As seen in Chester today. Although this was never really a phone box. A cash machine trying to fit into the olde worlde feel of Chester town centre. I can say no more.
