Action figure Librarians and strange instruments in a ladies hairdressers

I seem attracted to the oddest things. This week I saw an action figure of a Librarian, well not much action is involved, she just stands and watches with a severe expression on her face, she is the epitomy of what people expect Librarians to be like, in my experience though they are far from the prim and saintly Ladies and Gents portrayed in the media…

       

 

 

 

 

she is, I’m assured available from all good toyshops, although I suspect only in America. This one was purchased from ebay, no doubt she will one day be a ‘collectors item’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

something else I spotted is confusing me, I went with a friend for coffee and ended up in a Ladies Hairdressers and whilst she was beeing ’seen to’ I saw this piece of kit, it looks like a torture instrument from the deepest recesses of the old KGB basements to me, I have no idea what it is or what it is used for, anyone any ideas?

Every year at this time nothing seems to be right in my life…I’m always searching for something, waiting for that special person, thinking about another birthday coming up and being on my own, I don’t mind my own company its just that i’d like to spend time with a ’special someone’, knowing that another Christmas will come and go as though it is an ordinary day, no one around to open presents with, on the bright side no one to buy pressies for!!! More importantly no one to cuddle up with on these long winter nights….ah well at least I have my camera! The following are my abstract view on my life this past week.
