We don’t need no vanishing points
For this year's Sport Relief, seven celebrities will be cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End. This is a Worthy Thing, and good for them. The advert made me laugh, though:
To be fair, there are areas just north of Manchester which exist outside of Euclidean space, so it might be fine. Otherwise, the perspective seems...missing. Which might be ok - you could argue it's a particular style, and I've seen worse Photoshop jobs - but then you notice David Walliams' head. And arms. And hands.
Water, water…
That was a hell of a drive home. In the fifteen minutes I went from blazing sunshine to torrential downpour back to sunshine. Haven't seen rain that heavy for a long time. Normally I'm happy of any excuse to use manic-speed-wipers, but it came very close to blocking my view entirely. In town the drains had exploded and at least one road was close to impassable, after only ten minutes of rain.
Still, some people have seen more water today. What a segue that was. David Walliams swam the English Channel for Sport Relief, taking only ten hours. You can 'congratulate' him by texting DAVID to 82125, which donates 70p (of a £1 total cost1) to Sport Relief.

Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:
Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?
