cockroaches and mosquitoes

two things i really don’t like.  and spiders.  really fast running spiders which bite (in a non dangerous way).  don’t like them. at all.

this photo is from my trip to sydney last year.  it’s not a long drain pipe from new zealand, although i wouldn’t put it past them.

robo toilets

100307_850_img_8560.jpg

one of our new hobbies is going round ‘open houses’ at the weekend to look at our neighbours house and not buy them.  it’s great when you find a house with a robo-toilet like this one.

priceless ($6.90)

100513_850_img_0116.jpg

does it have a price or not ?  and it looks like you can pay with a degreaser if you haven’t got $6.90

hung nicely

i hope you can see what’s going on here

100317_850_img_8799.jpg

it’s two adverts – one on a billboard and one on the wall behind it

100317_850_img_8801.jpg

if you stood in the road and dodged the traffic you could line them up nicely and give the hung man his head back

fabulous selection of “boots”

100408_850_img_9441.jpg

why the “inverted commas” ?  perhaps their foots are so loose they aren’t actually shoes ?

very cool

lunch with buzz

100511_850_img_0084.jpg

i’ve got lots of chums in this new town and that’s a great thing.  here’s buzz, my oldest (in terms of know-age) NZ chum.

100511_850_img_0086.jpg

i’m not sure who my eldest friend in NZ is.  i’ll have to think about that one.

10% for lady

100511_850_img_0078.jpg

i’m nor sure if they are actually selling mothers at this shop, and if so, that the discount only applies if you bought a lady mother (rather than a man one?).  this was from auckland’s notorious k-road so who knows !

pencils and pencils

100511_850_img_0097.jpg

we had an excellent meeting at church last night.  it was enhanced (at least for me) by the huge amount of pens and pencils in this chap’s pocket.
