poor fish – he’s about to be terrorised by the strange black monster with three grabby arms

7 night smorgasboard

we’ll ignore the question of whether it should be smorgasbord rather than smorgasboard.  i liked how it was a 7 night one assuming you only eat between the hours of 4.30pm and 9pm each day.

and the shop was only open 6 nights a week …

a very cool bookshop

a veritable Aladdin’s cave of books about Aladdin’s caves (and other things)

taxing problems at the 3 dollar shop

the $3 Japan shop is struggling with the planned GST increases (GST = VAT for those in the UK).

I do understand the situation and you will remain my favourite shop.  mainly for your lovely (and numerous) signs

i wasn’t quite able to get back far enough for this to say men hang.  but you can see what i was trying to do

[and now we live in new zealand, we realise a ‘hangi’ is actually a culturally important thing.  sometime you have to sit on a photo for a year or so before it makes sense !]

trees come down

it’s been quite windy here of late

big winds bring no friends.  especially if you are a tree.  the one above was a little teeny tree which probably fell over because someone tripped on it.

and this one clonked to the ground next to me as i walked down the street.  that could have had my eye out.
