euro announcement
here’s a europe flag flying at our local village fete.
gene wilder
what better way can there be to spend your lunchtime than waiting in a queue to meet non other than Gene Wilder ? What a man !
here he is, wearing a hoody (i think hoodies are still legal wear if they are pastel coloured. his looked more like a pyjama top)
i had to borrow john’s camera for the trip as mine is down the menders. as a result i managed to get very few actually in focus (and none of him looking normal).
the girl in front of my in the queue asked me to take her photo with him because her batteries had run out, but i didn’t do a very good job of getting it in focus. so if she’s reading this – many apologies. oooops.
here is me and him (taken by the bookshop lady). she couldn’t work john’s camera either. i was going to get him to do a little video for the blog but he looked way too tired.
glove
alone ?
or with a friend ?
the tree bus lane
i bet the sqirrels are glad this bus lane stops before it reaches the branches
(note the upswaydown sticker graffiti on the box below the sign)
three birthday candles and a cactus
i’m sure there’s a witty pun or comedy connection i’m missing here.
just the essentials
i don’t smoke. but i certainly eat a lot of chocolate and drink a lot of hot water.
and it’s good to see someone abiding by the government’s colour coordinated car parking policy.
carry a bag
i lost my front tooth doing exactly this trick when i was aged 12.
perhaps this man thrives on danger. he’s wearing dark glasses and the bags are full of dynamite. (i made the second of these two facts up)
why did the lolly pop ?
i offered kezia the choice of a lolly or a bounce on a bouncy castle. she went for the lolly option.
instead of 3 minutes bouncing she had over 2 hours of stickiness. good choice kezzy !
australian photos
our friend hannah has been adventuring and brought back these photos.
here’s some great before and after signage of road kill (amended by the locals it seems):
here is a box on a stick marked vinegar:
and here is a drive thru bottle shop:
pelican
here’s a pelican which probably belongs to the queen as it’s in the park next to her house.
(the black blob on the picture is the reason i sent my camera to the menders)
