I picked up a hitchhiker on Thursday morning. He said he needed to go but he wasn’t sure where. As he’d been caught short and was feeling a bit flushed, I thought I’d better offer him a seat. He was grateful for the lift as he hadn’t had to spend a penny. I’m goingContinue reading “The unusual hitchhiker”

Flying again
I’ve been thinking about flying again but I’m in two minds about it. This shot reminds me of many things, not necessarily of being on a plane but of places, holidays, people and airports. I like that. These are the top five things I enjoy about flying: browsing at the airport and getting something goodContinue reading “Flying again”
Bottoms up!
I suppose there are various ways of toasting and raising a glass of something: cheers, salut and prost, amongst others. Bottoms up does sound a bit strange if you stop to think about it but it’s very appropriate for Privvi. I guess it’s about lifting the glass and seeing the underside of it (that’s neverContinue reading “Bottoms up!”
The ‘stunt’ toilet
I did a 200 mile round trip to collect a second-hand toilet yesterday (which had been throughly cleaned by the owners). It was in the boot of the car and kept clanking around but it was fine after I stuffed a coat around it. I did think about putting it on the back seat butContinue reading “The ‘stunt’ toilet”
Feeling the strain
My operation’s now 2 weeks tomorrow and just 15 days away. I’m counting and beginning to feel the strain of what is about to happen. As I mentioned before, because the first operation failed, the surgeon will have to cut and remove a small section of tendon from my inner wrist. Apparently we have aContinue reading “Feeling the strain”
Time to escape
This is a photo taken at the end of a hot, hazy summer’s day last August at Holkham beach, Norfolk. It’s home of the ‘sand flower’ and one of my favourite places that I visit at least twice every year. I spent a lot of my childhood in Norfolk on this beach and it’s myContinue reading “Time to escape”
If at first you don’t succeed…
I had the good fortune of seeing and capturing this moment of a mother duck with her ducklings yesterday. It was captivating and everyone around stopped to watch this delightful entertainment. The ducklings got there in the end after a few attempts. Thought one was going to get left behind. Life lesson – if atContinue reading “If at first you don’t succeed…”
Spot the difference?
Can you spot the lurking poo emoji? 💩 I’m never quite sure what idea might pop into my head for my blog but this is today’s. At the end of the day Privvi’s all about toilets and this is a thing about loos for me – you never know what you might find – especiallyContinue reading “Spot the difference?”
Who needs a haircut?
I thought of this idea yesterday and photographed it today – this is actually my hair with me leaning forward over the Privvi box. I was aiming for Cousin It meets Mr Mullet and I think it just about works! I’m fortunate that I’ve long hair that simply got longer during lockdown and could doContinue reading “Who needs a haircut?”
Made it to Prague
I forgot to mention that my Privvi box had finally made it to Prague. Having worked out that the parcel was waiting at the postal depot, my friend Simon collected it and was able to get the shot of the box on Charles Bridge. Prague is in still in some state of lockdown (as IContinue reading “Made it to Prague”
