how can something so small make such a noise ?

beware of da p

there’s a big problem in new zealand with ‘p’ addicts.  which i guess is what this sign is warning us about.

delivery of a big pile of leaves

so this is how it works.  the council bring round a big pile of dead leaves in a skip, and then they spread them round town (especially under trees).  here we see a leaf drying machine which is ‘bubbling’ out old leaves like a washing machine full of fairy liquid

strange hair

100516_850_img_0149.jpg

one of the great things about estate agent boards outside houses for sales is the pictures of the real estate agents.  this lady has particularly good hair which i think she might have converted in to a phone.  or perhaps she’s holding a grab to her face ?

skin off chicken

someone obviously decided that skin off chicken was no longer needed on a sign so they painted it
