The ‘Town Musicians of Bremen’ is a traditional story about a group of animals – a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster – who decide to run away and become musicians in the city of Bremen.  On the way the plan changes as they scare off a band of robbers, capturing their spoils and moving into their house

This version of a statue in Riga to celebrate the story was a gift from Bremen in 1990 and has highly polished hooves and snouts where people have touched it for luck.

Friday evening at the station; the pound shop offers all sorts of temptation while they wait for their friends.

One of my favourite photos although technically not very sharp.

The iconic neon sign outside The Leadmill. Normally at 9pm there would be a queue to the end of the road but it looks like the lone security man was in for a quiet night.

Tokyo Shinkansen station. A small group of cleaning ladies wait for the next train so they can clean the carriages in the 2 minutes that the train is at the platform before departure.

Two pictures this week; this is a map of the 138 systems that are trying to talk to my computer this morning (according to Little Snitch). In theory these are all the applications that I have accepted network requests from but the vast majority of them are apparently inactive; that doesn’t seem to be the case. They are all trying to check software updates, synchronise backup data etc.

The second screenshot is from disconnect.me on my phone and shows the 159 applications trying to track my browsing. In this case I have denied permission to anything trying to see my activity.
