newspapers only
there’s some mysterious numbering going on here. if you can crack the code you can have a free newspaper
old people love pie and tea
nice bit of targeted advertising here. a nice clean poster so that those who have trouble seeing can clearly read what the offer is without being distracted by the background.
but i do like the idea of tempting senior citizens in by giving them a free cup of tea with their pie.
kezia’s sky tower picture
kezia spotted this so took the picture to share with you. good to see noticing is running in the family
driver’s leg
here’s a nice example of kiwi drivers. i spotted this bare leg on the car window sill. as we passed in the bus i noticed it was the driver’s ! that’s the beauty of automatic cars of course.
fruit juice and desk cleaner
the same but different
closed – come back soon
this shop was closed but suggests you come back soon (with three exclamation marks). don’t come back too soon though else it’ll still be closed. in fact, better to come back tomorrow when it’s open again
we export overseas
of course exports will be overseas – new zealand is an island !
auckland – funny old place
there’s the international comedy festival on in Auckland and it’s great. we took the kids to see the Mr Boon show on Saturday which was totally excellent and featured standup by Jared Christmas (seen above on the way to his own gig this evening)
and then this evening i saw the most excellent Al Pitcher who is also an observer of the mundane and a great noticer through the media of photography. he’s also a fantastic stand up comedian.
i was pleased to see a number of photos taken in auckland which have also appeared here on funkypancake so we’re tuned in to the same things.
If you are in Auckland for the next few days go and catch him before he exports himself. more details here
oh, and i had morning coffee with David Farrier this morning which was also very cool.
a jolly good day (despite me being rubbish at taking people photos in the dark)
lovely long bay
this is still my favourite beach
not only does it look great on the sandy bits but the rocky bits are quite cool too
crazy paving ?
suggestion box and bin combo
plenty of room for improvement
short showers please
a short person not having a shower
glove
i know what you are thinking, there’s not been too many gloves on the blog of late. there are a few about, but it’s mostly shoes and jandals on the streets. london has its gloves. auckland has it jandals
missing cake
‘sgone
sleeping rough under an umbrella
it’s a street ambassador under an umbrella. much more waterproof than a cardboard box
