As I walked along yesterday, thinking pleasant thoughts of ribbons and puppy dogs tails, I came across a bunch of magnets sitting prettily on a metal box. I know not what sort of box it is. Maybe it's full of electrics. Maybe it has a little something to do with the traffic lights. Whatever it is, it is now full of childlike magnets vying for some sort of attention.
If I hadn't been on my way to get the bus I would have stopped and played, moved the letters around and had a bit of a giggle. But the bus was coming and the people were crowding round, clamouring for attention.
So I snapped a photo on my trusty and faithfull companion, the phone. Now I'm sharing it with you.
I love the randomness of the world around me.

It would! Unfortunately I won't see it again this side of September. :(

@paigea I doubt it. I expect the big official boys will get them removed!

@Poppylicious Too bad; I wonder if it will still be there.

Oh, I threw out so many magnets when we got our new fridge earlier in the year. What is it with this incessant need we have to smother our fridge doors in magnets?!

@Poppylicious You'd have to ask my husband. He's the one who buys them.

Definitely. I may find a metal box more locally to me and put my poetry magnets on it!
