swag bag

a nice bit of drawing on this sign.  the money bag.  the broken window.  all good.  except the crime of course.

we can do you hair today

we can do you hair today, but do we want to ?

we can do you hair today, but will we ?

we can do you hair today, but we’re not going to

we can do you hair today, so there.

morning tea

this is a poison berry muffin according to the chap serving us.  i went for the altogether more healthy option of chocolate muffin and cream

autumn – the leaves and telephone fall

100423_850_img_9743.jpg

it’s autumn on this end of the planet which means leaves fall.  and so do retro telephones it seems.  it’s always fun to see what you see on the residential streets of auckland.

newspapers excepted

somehow i think this sign would work better in venn diagram form

street furniture

here’s a rather comfy seat used by the local street dwellers near my office.

dog exclusion zone

100425_850_img_9790.jpg

two things here.  very long tail on the dog, and a defined 10 metre exclusion zone of any playground.  is this a worldwide restriction, in which case how come we’ve not seen more of these signs ?

i wonder if the tail is a 10metre ‘yard stick’ so you can measure how far away from any playground it is ?

a kiwi cleaner

at last, a decent kiwi street cleaning device

newspapers only

100424_850_img_9764.jpg

there’s some mysterious numbering going on here.  if you can crack the code you can have a free newspaper

old people love pie and tea

100424_850_img_9759.jpg

nice bit of targeted advertising here.  a nice clean  poster so that those who have trouble seeing can clearly read what the offer is without being distracted by the background.

but i do like the idea of tempting senior citizens in by giving them a free cup of tea with their pie.

driver’s leg

100504_850_img_9888.jpg

here’s a nice example of kiwi drivers.  i spotted this bare leg on the car window sill.  as we passed in the bus i noticed it was the driver’s !  that’s the beauty of automatic cars of course.
