the view from bus window
my buses to and from work usually throw themselves round the street violently so i can’t take photos. one day last week the combination of bus driver and traffic jam resulted in these photos
car drinks holders
i find car drinks holders very satisfying.
happy valentimes day
kezia insists on called it ValentiMes. she knows it’s Valentines, but she prefers Valentimes. and so do i
no narking
good general advice for anyone in a relationship.
the freaky child mannequin changes clothes again
this is the freaky child mannequin from the local shopping maul which i’m stalking
she’s got a couple of friends in the next window too
one is dressed as a snake.
i think the snake girl killed the lion girl
the frog party
kezia had a birthday recently so esther organised a frog party for her. it was totally fab. i’ll let the pictures speak for themselves
cloudy beach
it’s not referred to as the land of the long white cloud for nothing
massive shoe sale
this mannequin seems very annoyed that she has to stand in a window selling massive shoes cheaply
fluffy beach thing
lovely yellows against the blue sky
beach barbie
there was a lady watching me taking this picture. i wasn’t sure whether she was discusted or amused. perhaps it was her barbie ? either way i made haste and went about my business.
the blues
we went to the local stadium to see ‘the blues’ football team who were doing some signing
when we got there it turned out they were a rugby team
that serves me right for not doing my homework
rather than queue for an hour to get things signed we took a few photos
this chap was prowling the area trying to queue jump
but he was quickly sent to the back of the queue
a friend here told me that it’s quite amazing how close you can get to sporting stars over here and she was right. if you know who they are (i don’t) then you’re likely to bump in to them all over the place, and not just (free) signing events like these
lemmings
watching this from afar was like that game of lemmings. a steady stream of people climbing the stairs and dropping off the top.
hidden bollard
can you see the hidden bollard on the cliff edge ?
we were so lucky to spot one in its native nesting place
