crazy door numbers

letter boxes and door numbers are an art over here in new zealand and the place is all the better for it

this house has taken the inside of a pooter, sprayed it black and stuck it on its fence.  lovely idea.

i’ve shown you this shop window before.  i love it as it’s absolutely packed with things and they’ve scrawled the names of the products on the outside of the windows with nice words.  like lovely crockery

as i went past the other day i noticed they’ve started selling anti virus which i assume is a computer thing.   and they now think their paper parasols are cool. 

100608_850_img_0493.jpg

and they sell silks (plural) on rolls

lunch with buzz

garrotted

100609_850_img_0520.jpg

there are a number of mannequins on the main shopping drag in downtown auckland which appear to be being garrotted by cheese wire.  shame

100609_850_img_0518.jpg

they didn’t seem bothered.  but then mannequins rarely do.

chocolate fish in the chocolate drink

100608_850_img_0478.jpg

like a man in a room unable to put a teacosey on his head, a man on his own with a chocolate fish and a bowl of hot chocolate can’t help but seeing if the chocolate covered marshmallow fish will balance on the frothy top

100608_850_img_0481.jpg

it didn’t balance, but once it had sunk it started to melt and within 2 minutes was a gorgeous slippery fish which was well worth catching and swallowing in one.

kiwis and pineapple

100609_850_img_0522.jpg

i found this in a corner at work.  kiwis are all over the place.

one of my favourite family portrait

you know sometimes you take a photo and it just makes you laugh everytime you see it.  this does it for me.  esther’s eyes, kezia’s scratching, jane’s distraction.  all good
