Photos, pictures etc
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]
Happy Australia Day.
Actually the caption says “Driver Licence” … hmm, okay. Has Victorian government hologrammatic things all over it, somewhat obscuring the picture. No loss really. Feel free to post a picture of your driver licence… Link in the Trackbacks or comments. Move your mouse over the picture for descriptions of various bits (note Firefox may abbreviate. ... [More]
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]
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]
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]
Here is my bookcase. Well, one of them, probably the most interesting one. There are others elsewhere in the house containing CDs and kids books; videos; boring geeky books and magazines. If there is one thing I regret about my book collection it’s that in early adulthood I was so addicted to TV that I ... [More]
Here’s the Christmas tree late last night, with the presents at their most impressive. Slowly, today, the pile is being depleted. I should just add that today would be a good day to spare a thought, and some cash, for those in need. Donate to Salvation Army (southeast AU) The Smith Family (AU) Red Cross/Crescent ... [More]
Not quite in the usual vein of Sunday photos, here is possibly the strangest self-portrait I have ever taken. It was at Altona beach this morning, and what you can’t see is the 50 gazillion flies that were zooming around my head (and indeed the heads of everybody else present at the time). Seriously, you’d ... [More]
Here is our Christmas tree, made of the finest, sturdiest green plastic. It’s not a huge Christmas tree (relatively miniscule, in fact), but it does the job. It’s more-or-less adequate for the number of gifts that will find their way under it in the next couple of weeks. Post your Christmas tree… link in the ... [More]
Mural, Canterbury Street, Yarraville. (Hands up who remembers the red rattler trains?)
In a little-used corner of the kitchen table lies the fruitbowl. Okay, so it’s dominated by bananas most of the time. Post a picture of your fruitbowl… Link in the Trackbacks or comments. As usual, move your mouse over the picture for descriptions of various bits (note Firefox may abbreviate. Apparently you can fix it ... [More]
