52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 36 Habits
Posted on September 5, 2020
This week, the Smartphone Challenge is “Some habits are good, and some are bad. Your inspiration this week is either”.
To the best of my knowledge, I am entirely devoid of good habits, so that narrows it down a bit.
However, I have it on the very highest authority that, among a plethora of bad habits, my alleged inability to close cupboard doors properly ranks very highly in terms of irritation-generating capacity.
Dunno what all the fuss is about….

This hand-made – and most definitely unofficial – signpost in the city of Cahors, in southern France, points the way to a number of exotic locations. And Brussels.
However, the most practical pointer is probably the one which shows the way to the nearest benne à ordures: the garbage dumpster.

Normally, I’m not a great one for visiting garden centres, but whoever runs this one, near my parents’ house in the UK, obviously has a sense of humour.

Shouldn’t that be ‘vin’?

As one of France’s leading utility companies, EDF (Électricité de France) supplies something without which modern civilised life would be quite impossible.
As well as electricity.

This supermarket in Dubai probably ought to get a new advertising copywriter…
Taking customer service to a whole new level

This sign could equally well have been posted for the Oddball challenge, but since it was in black and white anyway, I though I’d use it for this week’s Black & White Photo Challenge. It’s outside a carpet shop close to where my parents live in the UK.
I say ‘pavement’, you say ‘sidewalk’.
