Para-illegal

See now just a year ago, a section like this in a bookshop, could never have existed. But along came Twilight and with it, all the copy cats and lame teen books eager to cash in on whatever they could get for their cheesy vampire / werewolf / shape-shifter romances. I feel slight embarrassment for my gender whenever I look at this pic. Oh boy. Mind I suppose guys get blow up dolls and we get Edward, who's pretty much the same thing really...

Sign of the time

No, no, no, that’s just too many exclamation marks! And I should know, I use them like a paedo does candy! Three exclamation marks is too much like yelling! It’s almost a challenge! Tell me you don’t read this and secretly have the urge to park your car right outside the gate JUST CAUSE!! And there's a space between 'in' and 'front' they forgot AND it's 'in front OF the gate'! That tears it, I'm off to hire a car!

Un-done-brella

I am not a friend to umbrella kind. Any brolly that travels with me in my backpack does so with the understanding that it will be put through it’s paces sometimes day after day after day. All these weeks of rain have pretty much left this puppy with two broken spines and a lot of rust. Poor thing won’t be with us that much longer. Maybe I can finally find a rainbow umbrella! Lordy I see these black ladies with them and the envy burns deep! One day Hudson, one day!

not a grand (ma) idea!

No man! No, No, NO!!! A bad watermelon! Could you think of anything worse? (Well of course you could but shush, my blog!), some parts of it taste okay (I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t at least try it!), but that stringy, soft and mulchy feeling in your mouth?! Ye gods, it’s so bad! It’s so wrong! It’s like kissing your grandmother with tongue!!

Masked intent

For a while I was rather keen on paper mache, mostly making masks. This was the biggest one I ever made. I have no idea why I made it, which of course is the reason for most of my art really. Mind it wasn’t comfie to wear and refused to sit on the wall properly so it ended up where most of my paper mache did, in the bin with the lid firmly on!

Crab stix

This is a crab that was being awfully compliant to my need to take a photo of him, the last time I was in Durban. (wow that was long ago!) I think he might have been sick or dying, or an Elvis impersonator, what do I know about crabs? Isn’t he a strange, strange beasty. Sometimes you forget how alien other life forms can be!

bloody hell!

Okay so my legs are very sensitive. They hate it when something cuts their blood supply off and tend to react badly. Here are three mosquito bites that prove that. Yes they are mosquito bites. I got them on Sunday.
A. After my walk on Monday, broken blood vessels and yes, god they itched royal!!
B. After my walk on Tuesday, more blood vessels broken and damaged, twice as itchy. What do you think tomorrow will bring? *whimper*

Panning shot

I made blueberry and raspberry pancakes for my new family on Xmas eve. Don’t they look yummy? I’ve never eaten any of the pancakes I make, but they do go down a treat for you omnivorous sorts! Want some?

My hearts desire

Oh my smurf! Look at these beautiful things, I could cry, I think I just did! I love super ripe bananas, they are just so damn yummy and make the tastiest banana ice-cream!
[Banana ice-cream: - mash a bunch of ripe nana’s in a bowl, ideally plastic, pop on lid, freeze for 4 – 7 hours, Depending how hard you want it to go, then grab a spoon and eat the food of the gods!!] BANANAS WE LOVE YOU!!!
