here's a man adjusting the polystyrene bits in the snow globe.  it's the second time i've seen polystyrene bits in the last week - last sunday night i lay on a bean bag looking up at the underside of an umbrella at sydney observatory.  we had to lay on bean bags on the floor looking up at the rather basic start display projected on to the underside of the umbrella

when we got up to leave there were polystyrene bits all over the floor due to a leaky bean bag.  but it looks like little stars had escaped from the planetarium

oh, and here's the 20 foot santa where i met a friend for morning tea yesterday.  you can see a much better photo of santa and a bit of history at this excellent website here
