Whilst cycling yesterday I came across this fearsome beast
Sadly, it is tucked away on some wasteland behind our local Homebase store, I doubt many people know of its existence.
I was reminded of two things.
My cousin Bob Fuller made an amazing sculpture of a crocodile that used to be at the golf course of the Avisford Park Hilton near Arundel (curiously I can no longer find a photo of it).
Also, back in July Nic Fiddian-Green’s huge sculpture ‘Artemis’ was erected at Goodwood Racecourse and I haven’t got up there to see it for myself yet.

There is something similar here made in lead and only 3 foot 6 inches high, but look at that price tag!
If your garden is not complete without one I suggest you ask Daddy Papersurfer for a quote.
Last year that clever flat-cap wearing Norvern lass came up with a brilliant idea for us all to write a post about what we were doing on 090909 day.
She will hopefully be reminding everyone soon about Sequential Day – which for those of us in the UK falls on 8th September ’10.
I was looking at Geekologie earlier and the poor guys over there received a barrage of abusive comments for declaring today as Sequential Day.
Most unfair, I thought.
If the date is written August 9th 2010 then today IS 08/09/10, sad that there seem to be so many narrow minded people out there.
Heard this last night on Jamie Cullum’s jazz show. Had no idea who it was until he back-announced it, but that sexy Brazilian singing had me searching YouTube.
