Photos, pictures etc
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]
Stacks of containers, piled up high along Footscray Road…
Here is my pantry. Post a picture of your pantry… 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 with this extension if you turn multi-line tooltips on.) Past photos in this series Notes on creating ... [More]
Here is my TV, and assorted other home entertainment paraphenalia. Post a picture of your TV etc… 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 with this extension if you turn multi-line tooltips on.) Past ...

Here is my bed. Yes, this shot was staged. Two year-old queen size bed. The bedlinen is about the same age, and most would probably say the doona cover is a pretty typical blokey choice. Second pillow generally thrown off the bed when sleeping, more used for propping-up to read the paper on the weekends. ... [More]
Here is my aging Sharp Microwave. It was old when purchased — about ten years ago from some ex-government equipment auction, I think. My friends Josh and Cathy have exactly the same microwave, which makes me double-take when I visit them. It is much more reliable than my Sharp VCR proved to be. Naturally anything ... [More]
Ah, it’s spring time. (Happy Cup Day!) Apart from dodging rain and hail yesterday, I spent some time getting the clocks updated to summer time. Most were easy. The computers took care of themselves. The VCR was a cinch. The kitchen clock is analogue, so just needed winding on. Mobile phone, thank you once again ... [More]
