We used to play a game when we were outside in the playground or outside anywhere else or even inside in a gym hall. It was called ‘statues’. You had to run around madly and when someone shouted you stopped and all stood like a statue in the exact position you had stopped. Then the shouter would walk amongst you and look for a movement, a tremble or a flicker of the eyelid, a stumble. The first one to move was OUT. It usually ended up with someone dissolving into giggles…….
It’s not that easy being a statue !
these amazing stone figures grace the sides of the cathedral in Barcelona
this lot look like they are playing cards but I am not sure…. 
This chap stood short and square in the streets of Budapest
and I got stuck sitting next to some chap in the markets of Budapest. I never even got to know his name…. ! 
I think he prefered his solitude. Perhaps he is some Hungarian philosopher, I don’t know.
