On My Way To The Park

We hadn't even reached the stairs today before we were faced with an obstruction...

Behind the fire doors was a mattress which we had to clamber over.

The Other Half suggested going up a flight of stairs to get a better view (I rarely go up to the eighth floor unless I have to complain about a leak) where I spied this little table with a blanket bag on it.

Here's the eagle eye view of the mattrress.....

Carrying on down we came across this fold-up chair

And finally, out from retirement returns the the 'Fourth Floor Door Opener'!

Hey, spring is well on the way!

Double Trouble

It's been quiet on the stairs this week, I got quite excited when I saw 2p in a corner but not as excited when I saw a tiny screw! Then I imagined how horrified my daughters would be if I started logging bits and pieces from peoples pockets, so I stilled my hand and left my camera unused in my bag. (I keep passing that screw though!). Good to see that others continue with qwerky behaviour, I thought that our resident professional door opener had left the block, but no! They are back in business as we can see from  the water filled thingymajig above.

Tooty Fruity!

Ah, yet another door opener on the fourth floor - why?????????

Fancy A Pint Anyone? (or four!)

This mornings finds include a door on fourth floor door propped open with a water filled milk container,  and a lamp box.

D'ya Fancy A Quick Monster?

I saw this energy drink can on a window sill on the way up this evening, I guess it was needed to get the drinker up all those stairs! - It looks pretty gruesome, I don't think I'll be buying any if I see it in the shops! The fourth floor is well ventilated as usual, this time with a copy of 'The metro'

Clean Living

The cleaners are very busy this week cleaning and polishing all the floors, here's their tired looking mean cleaning machine! The fourth floor doors continue to be wedged open.....

Hey Ho! Here We Go!

More from our fourth floor keep the door open fiend!

Saturday Morning

Hello, once again our inventive friend on the fourth floor has held the doors open, this time with drink cartons. On one of the lower floors someone has left this table top, it reminds me of the wobbly balloon on 'The Prisoner' series - because it just looks so weird there in the corner, I half expected it to move off! - Watch this little vid

One Door Closes And Another One Opens

Looks familiar.

Open All Hours!

On the way home tonight I spied more evidence of the phantom fourth floor door opener. I like the way the PFFDO has used the BT phone directory to keep the doors open, they were delivered today - what a waste of paper, plastic and energy - haven't they heard of the internet?!

Clean Sweep

Nothing too exciting to report today, just the phantom fourth floor door opener - this time pushing two cardboard rolls together. The cleaner must have popped into his cupboard, or out for a fag, leaving his equipment for the likes of me to take photographs of!

Oh, the bike has now gone.

Late Pickings

Well, I didn't see anything on the stairs this morning, mainly because I left later than usual after the cleaners have done their thankless task. So I nipped down the stairs after dinner tonight and saw the above. These guys obviously didn't take part in playground litter duty when they were at school! We often see rolled up items on a certain floor which are used to keep the double doors open, if you look closely at the second rolled item you can see that someone has gone to the trouble to sticky tape the roll so it doesn't spring open - wah? And hey, you learn something new every day, today I learnt that you can buy frozen okra.....
