It's the end of the month and that means it's time for the November scavenger hunt. Thanks as always to Kathy for picking the categories. You can see everyone else's posts here.
Something that you have made
Not the tree, obviously (although I did decorate it). The beaded bauble.
Silhouette
I'm not ashamed to admit I own this book despite the epic mullet on the cover. It's about a wrestler! There's another thing I'm not ashamed to admit: I love wrestling. Mock me at your peril. I will bodyslam you.
A lucky charm
Lucky Ducky.
A poppy
This is how I wear my poppy: in my hair. I have a terrible habit of losing them when they're attached to my coat so this is safer all round.
A self-portrait
I hate taking photos of my own face. This was the best I could do.
Memorial
It's a memorial to the Potato Famine, in the grounds of St Luke's church in Liverpool city centre. I suppose the church is a sort of memorial too. It was bombed out during WW2 (hence it being known as the "bombed-out church" now) and has been left that way.
Polka dots
A selection from the sock drawer.
Warmth
Yeah, my fire is retro. None of those flickery pebble things for me.
Something that lights up
One of the Christmas decorations in Liverpool. I don't think the lights are up to much this year but I love this reindeer.
Staircase
At the Bluecoat. It's a stunning building anyway but I am especially fond of this doorway. Check out the little Liver Bird on the pediment.
Something purple
The last remnants of colour on a hydrangea bush.
Comfort food
Nothing better. My Magic Roundabout egg cup must be used.

Something that lights up? My face, when your name hits the top of my list with a new post!
ReplyDeleteCorny, but true!

Love this post :) And I am very jealous of your egg cup! x
ReplyDeleteI love these photos! Also, I just love the way you describe things- it's so, ahrgh, can't think of the word- fitting in a mundane (I know that sounds a negative word but I mean it in a positive way), proper way- it fits and is amusing!
ReplyDeleteI love wrestling too XX
ReplyDeleteMagic roundabout eggcup?! Amazing. Great photos and a good idea re: where to put the poppy, every year I go through 2 or 3 as they always fall off my coats. x
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as usual! What a cute little lucky ducky.
ReplyDeleteI very nearly had boiled egg and soldiers for my comfort food too.
Your Silhouette made me chuckle! and wrestling is cool (because STONE COLD SAID SO!) (did you watch it that far back? or am I showing my age?)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I like the lucky ducky and the last colour on the hydrangea.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos especially the little green duck.
ReplyDeletecheers
Aaaah, I wanted to take a photo of that reindeer in the City Centre .... but I didn't get back there when i was sick. Really cute photos, I Love the spotty socks. Very similar to my drawer full. I've never seen to memorial about the potato famine before. I must check it out!

Hi Alex, I love the eighties, and the mullet hairdo! Polka dot socks, why didn't I think of that?! You have a fantastic collection of photos. Best Wishes, Kerrie
ReplyDeleteWonderful entries...especially the hydrangea and the reindeer!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! Like your spotty socks, mine are all plain or stripey - I must have some spotty ones. Sweet lucky ducky - I had one years ago from a shop in Scarborough - now where did that end up? Love Brian the snail on your egg cup and the reindeer looks wonderful. Thanks for cheering me up this morning:)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Nothing like a bit of Magic Roundabout to cheer up a chilly morning!xx
ReplyDeleteIf I had a magic roundabout egg cup I think I might use it at every meal.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!

I have the same fire haha! And I too love wrestling, at one time I was convinced I could be the next Stephanie McMahon and styled my whole wardrobe after her for like a year - and I was like 16, shameful! Wouldnt say no to HHH tho! :)
ReplyDeleteBoiled egg and soldiers straight to the top of my food wishlist!!
ReplyDeleteMY memorial pic is a potato famine one too! AND I almost did a lucky duck.
Love the poppy in the hair idea, I lose mine every year.
Also, well done on the bauble, looks so tactile :)
Interesting taste in fiction!
ReplyDeleteThere has been a huge variety of interpretations on comfort food in this month's hunt - everyone is different.
Love the reindeer.
ReplyDeleteI need to get me one of those reindeer. Fab!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - love your version of Silhouette!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Love the reindeer.
ReplyDeleteHahaaa!! Great silhouette shot :-D And the self-portrait.
ReplyDeleteOh Alex, think I just found another reason that I love you- boiled eggs and soldiers. And I want that eggcup. That said my soldier eggcup is quite cool- one of the ones with tall black fluffy hats.
ReplyDeleteYour lucky charm ducky is so cute. You've posted a great set of photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteI suddenly have an intense craving for a dippy egg and soldiers! Yum.
ReplyDeleteLove the hydrangea! Once again I am lagging behind everyone... I will finish my post tonight. Or maybe tomorrow! Really looking forward to the alphabet challenge!
ReplyDeleteLoving Lucky Ducky and magic roundabout eggcup. You are the coolest - even if you do love wrestling and own 'that' sort of book ;OP
