Adam Tinworth: The Rest of My Life

The Anonymous Famous Face

I saw this on the side of a bus the other day. It was striking, in a slightly Bet Lynch sort of way... 

Striking enough, in fact, that I went to the Mango site to see the rest of the images. And I discovered something I hadn't realised: the model in the image was a famous actress, one I've referred to before on this blog. Yet, when I'd looked at the image I'd had absolutely no idea it was Scarlett Johannson.

In fact, I'd noted this one in passing a few weeks before, and equally not noted its star content:

Autumn is in the air

And the trees...

Mother Courage & Her Children

Once upon a time, I had plans to write a review here, but this photo sat as the sole content of the draft post for six months. So, facing up to reality, I'll just share this photo of stage set and audience, done using AutoStitch on the iPhone.

Charity for Time Travellers

I assume whomever donated The Best Bed & Breakfast 1998 to our office charity lending library is under the illusion that we have a couple of time travellers in the office.

Freecycle Splits

The UK arm of Freecycle, an initiative that allows people to give away things they no longer need thus avoiding landfill, is in the process of splitting from the US founders. 

Freecycle was a life-saver for us as we cleared out my parents' house after Mum died last year. Big items, like the three-piece suite, couldn't be given to charity shops, and they were in great condition, so there was no need to landfill them. But, through Freecycle, we found people who needed them, and gave them away. 

With a little bit of luck, this split will allow the UK's Freecyclers to innovate and push up the amount of goods Freecycled, rather than undermine a fabulous initiative.

Which reminds me - anyone want a small, exercise-style trampet?
