Well I might as well give up this blog now as I have been alerted to the most charming thing ever – pothole gardens by the pothole gardener. (I know, where have I been?) My personal favourite:
And as it’s still snowy out there today, this:
See lots more mini-garden loveliness on the pothole gardener’s blog.
Ps. Thanks to @urbanwriters Charlie for the tip-off!
Hello, hello. Have you seen Mobstr’s work? I’ve only just discovered it after seeing these excellent photos taken by my mate, Werner (thanks, Mr Len!).
I like the sentiment above but what makes it is the slogan that follows on the opposite wall:

Top marks, mysterious Mobstr. I see from your flickr you are so named because you once had a lobster called mobster. I’m not sure I believe you but I’m always prepared to give the benefit of the doubt.
Just came across these snaps on Instagram and twitter. Oversized gold stars to @whatkatiedoes (who runs the ace What Katie Does blog) and @CarltonJefferis for the fine spotting and snapping skills.
Looks rainy so a hug would be welcome. Photo by @whatkatiedoes

I see newspapers have been speculating about who is behind them. I’m intrigued but I also like the not-knowing. In any case please let me know if you spot any more. As I work from home I tend to miss out on good sign-spottings lately (sad face).
Very belated Happy Christmas / New Year and all that. I wish you plenty of hugs and tea in 2012.
So I’m pressing this a lot today: make-everything-ok.com
I have also made a selection of magic wands for us, just in case any of you know how to cast ANTI-COMPLETE-MORON spells.
Okay, so they aren't *all* magic wands.
Stay safe, everyone.
In case you haven’t seen it, this is Juzcar in Spain, which has been painted blue for a film about smurfs.

Ignoring grumbles about corporate motivation, I love this idea of painting an entire village in just one colour so tonight I made a couple of quick experiments. Here is Manhattan with four coats of Dulux.*
*other paint brands would work just as well
And here is London entirely covered in some leftover wrapping paper I had hanging around.
In reality I guess it could be a bit awkward neatly covering the dome of St Paul’s in wrapping paper, but people really can do anything these days.
Okay so it’s been years not months since this place closed but the fact I can no longer go here to watch the snooker on a mini telly and eat over-salted bangers and smash still causes me physical pain. I made this drawing from a photograph, as a gift for my loyal café companion, Deborah. Many a scheme was hatched over a treacle sponge here.
New Piccadilly Café, Denham Street - now closed.

Hello! Thanks for visiting More Charm Please. Click here to find out what it’s all about. Meanwhile, here’s a sign I spotted recently round the back of the Royal Festival Hall. What lies beyond the fence? Alas, nothing but a plain old road but I like to imagine that a spectacular underground mini-golf course awaits. Or some other such brilliant thing.
