Seen adorning the front garden of a house in Droop Street, Footscray. Any ideas, anybody? (Thanks for use of the camera, Justine)

Here is the contents of my wallet

I got given a new wallet on Monday, so a couple of days ago I transferred the contents of my old, decrepit one into it. On the way across, I took this picture. Feel free to post a picture of the contents of your wallet or purse… Link in the Trackbacks or comments. Move your  ... [More]

Here is my toaster

And now for a toast. (Tony and Rae are certainly deserving of one, this weekend.) This is my Sunbeam toaster, still going strong after over a decade of toastie goodness. Happily handles crumpets and those big slices of bread from the delicious Vienna loaves I sometimes get at the bakery down the road. Yum. Feel  ... [More]

Here is my kitchen clock

Two days late, but I thought I could knock off two birds with one stone. Tony posted an artefact from the defunct Daimaru, and issued a challenge: find something from a now-gone department store. Well, here is my kitchen clock. It came from a shop that was somewhere inside the beautiful art deco Capitol building  ... [More]

Here is my garden of weeds

Here is my garden full of weeds. The weeds are fairly intelligent of course, and lay down out of the way when they see the mower coming. I’ve done some weeding by hand in the past week, and those areas look a lot better. But it’s far too much like hard work, so I need  ... [More]

Here is my post box

Here we go, celebrating the mundane yet again… here is my local post box, a couple of streets away. And you get a stop sign and a fire hydrant thrown in for no extra cost — how good is that?! Feel free to post a picture of your local post box… Link in the Trackbacks  ... [More]

Adventure in Warragul

It started with an observation from one or both of my offspring: “I’ve never been on a sprinter train!” So I thought ah, one more week of holidays for me, I’ll take them on the train down to Geelong. They’re well-versed with travel on the suburban trains (it’s all part of my “Dad’s taxi”-avoidance scheme  ... [More]

Here is my dish rack

The other week I was reading some bit of junk mail that came through my post box, and noting that dish washers aren’t quite as exhorbitantly priced as I thought they might be. When I eventually own a house, I’ll be sure to get one, just to save the dish washing effort. But in the  ... [More]
