Nice photo, bartlebyyphonics

Back from a couple of weeks in the cottage in Strömstad, close to the border of Norway. Been a real lazy vacation, but at least I have a few photos to show.

Took the boat and my bike one day out the Koster islands, mainly to eat lunch at Kosters gardens, a lovely place where they grow pretty much all their ingredients and have great beer and wine.

Ferie-Holidays

Almost on page two again, can't have that.

Went to celebrate our womens national football team and their bronze in the World Cup last week. Crazy lots of people and impossible to see anything at all. Back behind the stage you can see the arts museum in Gothenburg. Think I've posted some paintings from the museum, Rembrandt etc, earlier in the competition. The statue infront of the stage is of the Greek god Poseidon.

Also went to see Metallica for the first time in a decade. Decent show and a blast from the past.

Except that, I've mainly just been hanging out at the sea as of lately and sipping coffee.

Gothia Cup started yesterday, the biggest football cup in the world for youth teams. Got a perfect view for one of the fields from my office.

Quick shot of the TCB 20's after their latest wash

That’s all very well Bobbo but you need to discover CRICKET!

Never watched cricket, @Maynard Friedman, don't even know where I could watch it! Congratulations on winning the world cup though, I heard it was a crazy game!

old captains and smuggler cottages, a brutalist-modernist pier from the 1950s, a villainous ill-famed history and an antique ridden and holiday cottage filled present...

Almost on page 2 again. What have you lot been up to lately?

I'm starting to see more shredding on my pair now, sorry about the poor quality of the pics! How long do we even have left of this contest? 2 more months?

Went to Norrköping to visit an old friend some time ago. In the front you have Mikael that did the patch design for my GBG collab jeans, in the back is Niclas that shot the great photos I've been spamming you with.

And this is his sweet little country house. 45 cute square metres.

Went to see Israel Nash about a week ago. It was better than I expected. Nice to see some more Country gigs in Sweden.

Decent sunset on the way home.

Great evolution on that pair Bobbo 

[Bobbo]

Thank you kindly @Radiohead89

Ed surfaces in planet earth! Contest will end in October, let's say October 1st?

We still have to choose whether there will be a jury (tcb staff? Tcb and signet staff?) like on tcb 50s contest or just make a poll thread. Opinions? Thoughts?

Looks like October 1st! 7 weeks to go then.

indeed: a bit of an august graveyard ... hoping to see some more updates here on/by Oct 1st!

not much wear here: July too hot for this brit-bong denim head

but but but to keep the bumping tho: assorted elementals of earth, wind and fire: stones via north welsh castle (Harlech), abandoned slate mines (Llanfair), ancient church (St Tanwg) + bitchin' beach: both blowy and burning...

+ back to london; attempted gale-force ping-pong fit pic, crashed trees, burnt out motorised cycles and related: aesthetics of disintegration (and nicely titled tree cat bundle) from yee ol' teddy weston...

Excellent update!

[bartlebyyphonics]

thanks dear @Bobbo! you've been doing a stirling job keeping the thread out of the doldrums; just hoping to get some more ppl putting in pix of worn things whilst your beautifully organised new competition picks up with bright new extremely nice sparkles...

[my predicament is that the jeans are now just where I want them for another year's gentle occasional wear, so won't be pushing out a last few weeks thrashing and/or thrice weekly washing... part of my dainty and timid nature...]

[MJF9]

@bartlebyyphonics happy holidays on the North Wales coast... know it well... beaches and castles for miles and miles... almost always blowin a gale...
