kids sit in these things and they spin round. except they are at an angle and they seem to have their momentum. so kids go on them, get themselves in to a flat spin and can’t stop themselves. tremendous stuff !
i’ve no idea what this sign is about. it’s not on a shop or anything. i think it’s just a general statement !
there’s an army surplus shop near my new office and it’s worryingly fantastic. everyone who works there is wearing the clothes on sale which makes finding an assistant a good challenge. I decided not to attempt to take any pictures in the shop in case i got attacked.
ah. that classic combo. bread and milk. that’ll be, er, milky bread sir.
hopefully by the time you read this our new fridge freezer will have turned up. it’s a fisher price one.
here’s one of the last pictures i took in the uk
this is general recycling, not my own intake. honest.
new zealand mannequins aren’t letting us down at all. here’s a cheeky little mannequin in a thong looking rather sheepish in the corner of a shop window for all to (nearly) see.
it’s funny the things you miss. jane really missed her sockulator which is in our container (so we’ll not see it until December). but we sourced a local one and our lives are once again complete.
i was expecting NZ to be hedgeless, but thankfully it isn’t. in fact here’s a lovely hedge with red flowers in it.
an actual chicken crossing an actual main road. a missed opportunity.
we went to a farmer’s market on sunday. it was very busy so we followed the signs to the parking, including this one pointing to the enterance (sic)
we drove that way please only to find the parking signs led to this very closed gate.
and yes, of course all the signs are upside down as we’re down under !
delighted to find not one but two crazy golf establishments within 5 minutes drive from our house. this one even had multiple courses.
i suspect their proximity made be due to the number of pommy/uk settlers in this area. we all love a good crazy gold course.
