this chap seems to be wearing shorts (and waving)

a good excuse

somehow the fact that we know the toilet isn’t flushing gives more weight and acceptance to the fact that it’s closed. all we needed was that extra bit of info

toothbrush

100305_850_img_8543.jpg

i took this photo outside my office.   it’s a toothbrush of course.

little did i know when i took it that there is a ‘famous’ toothbrush related attraction just a few hours down the road from Auckland which was featured on the awesome Nothing To See Here today.  we’ll definately go in search of it when we go exploring that area.

and you should spend some time in the Nothing To See Here archives as it really is a great source of famliy fun

buzz’ satellite butt

we went round to some friends’ house for tea yesterday and they are low on water as can be seen by the bulb on the top of their water butt.  they aren’t due a fill up until later in the week so we had to be frugal with our toilet flushes.

thumbs down

draw where you live

this is an official electoral role form thing where if you don’t have a proper address for your house you can draw a nice picture of where to find it.  just like you did at primary school.

i love this country so much !
