After a pretty stressful week back at school, my weekend was somewhat uneventful and Sunday in particular was lazy.
I went down to Brixton for a coffee with a friend and then had a stroll around the market. It was pretty quiet. There were a few people having their lunch in Brixton village but that was about it. Still, there were many things that caught my eye and here are some of them I pictured along the way (click on the picture to enlarge).
This man provided entertainment while we were at Rosie's but unfortunately I had no change with me to pay for his efforts.
There are many wig shops in Brixton market (at least 15) but this one caught my attention because of the sign in the window. I don't know what to make of it :-)
In one of the avenues in the arcade I spotted a bicycle with a rather optimistic message.
Just around the corner, I found a somehwat inticing window. I am only not sure if this "one stop shop for everything" is an advertisment for cakes and church enthusiasts or an invitation for burgulars to come in and take their money.
However, if it is not cakes, money or church halls you need tending to, then you can buy fabulous decoration in the Rejuvenate shop.
Glad to report that Elvis is alive and well and his instruments are hanging at the doors of Brixton restaurants.
Born in Southwark and grew up in Camberwell, Michael Caine also made an appearance in our hood :-)
While the rest of us were lazying around, it was reassuring to see this man hard at work in his shop of wanders where you can get all sorts of different Asian food and while you're at it, you can also buy yourself a bag, a dress or even a piece of jewellery.
And just as you are done with your shopping, you can hop into this salon and get your hair done too. As you can see from the adverts outside, the possibilities to have your hair looking fabulous are endless.
Not only did the Brixtonians need a rest on Sunday, pigeons thought they deserved a break too.
As for me, I treated myself to my favourite flowers:
Now, back to work tomorrow after a lazy Sunday.
What did you do this weekend? Whatever it was, I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for stopping by.
I want to go in a wig store sometime and play with all of the fake hair. That sounds like a good time.
(Not in a creepy way.)
