this chap dropped out of a dressing up timewarp.  a disney reject from the 80s perhaps

i haven’t got a category for ‘people dressed up as landmarks’ so i’ve used the animal (people dressed up) category instead

discount goods shelves

things got worse at the reduced to clear shelf at tesco.  lose spaghetti and a mop alongside the broken french stick.  yesterday when i went they’d cleaned the shelf all up nice and orderly which was good.  sadly due to having the wrong trousers (grommit) i had a rare camera-less moment and didn’t take a photo.

i was delighted to see some reduced to clear stock in a new zealand supermarket.  the shot above was at the local supermarket.

since you asked, brother edd is now staying at cousin dawn’s house and having a great time by the sound of it.  he decided to squash his head for us whilst on skype yesterday which esther found amusing and disturbing all at once.

baby lottie got baptised at church yesterday morning and we were kindly invited to the after party where much jolly chattery was had.  kezia took the picture above from below, whilst i took the picture below from above.

i think her picture is more like the kind of one i’d take which is interesting.
