hand made by me

i’m not sure how i feel about the word ‘me’ on a sign.  was it the sign itself who made england’s best pork pie (singular)?

with the upgrade to the blog software i can now post multiple pictures in a go much easier.  this is from athens last year.  fantastic graffiti.  you can see people walking by if you click for big to get an idea of the scale.

quality signage

these were from an animal place we went to a month ago.  i asked esther if she could think of an alternative meaning for this sign and she thought it probably meant they smashed a bit of the the outside of animals fur off for security.

the worst rummikub hand ever ?

our lovely friends clive, heather and elaine came round yesterday for sunday lunch.  later in the afternoon clive and heather played rummikub with esther and me.

to start in rummikub you need to make groups or runs of 30 points from the tiles in your hand.  heather was having trouble getting to the 30 and as the game went on it was clear she had a bad hand.  it was only when there were only two more tiles on the table to pick up that we realised quite how bad it was (and at that point i won).

Is this the worst rummikub hand ever ?

this punch and judy was part of kezia’s home learning.  i videoed the performance for posterity.
