      I was getting some change to pay Anna’s teacher this morning, when I noticed a door stuck half way up a wall. I took the photo within PockeTwit, waited for the image to upload to yfrog, then carefully put the phone in my pocket, intending to write some text to accompany the tweet when back in the school. However, somewhere along the way the OK button must have been nudged, hence this tweet with no text.
      I realise the door perhaps used to have some steps on the outside, or it was used as tradesmens’ entrance to load flat-bed trucks more easily, but it just caught my attention this morning.
      Oh yeah, re. the ??? from your initial comment, I’ve still not sorting the character encoding so Cyrillics still don’t render properly. Not brilliant for a blog based in this part of the world, but I’ve tried my best to fix it without breaking the site, and it is beyond my skills and patience right now.

    ah whatever 😉 no big deal
    Cyrillic keyboards sometimes have Latin chars and it’s easy enough to transliterate.
    Now that you made the comment I do notice the door. Wonder what would happen if you knocked and ran =O

      I’ve only seen keyboards over here that have both, and obviously any intended for this country (rather than straight Russian imports) have the extra Kazakh characters. This always makes for fun when entering a password on PC I’m fixing. I always forget to switch languages, and end up swearing (silently) at the client for giving me the wrong password 🙂
      Re. knocking and running, you’d need to vault the low fence as well, as the area is totally enclosed by it. Which reminds me of a story involving camping in the British countryside, cows that were protective of calves, and heavily-laden backpacks that would ordinarily have precluded such acrobatic moves from someone with my body frame, but I’ll leave that for another day 🙂
