Sizing up

Eish! I’m not sure there’s anything I can say that the advert doesn’t say already! And wasn’t I nice to get the full phone number down for you? Sorry, I mean, for “Your friend.”

Water fail

While this might look like a cute, country stream, how charming. It is, in fact, water from yet another burst pipe! Gallons and gallons of water gushing down my walk pathway! What a waste! And this happens a lot in this area. I will admit it can look awfully pretty, and on a hot day it’s kind of nice to stick your feet in…

Chair-man

I want them! Not one of them, all of them! To climb on top of them and … I donno but wouldn’t that be fun? And I love that blue one, there alone in the middle of the bunch. What an odd thing to sell at the side of the road though? I can just see a couple driving along, “Oh Ralph, if only we had an Otterman stool – oh look! Our prayers have been answered! Swerve honey, swerve!”

Ironned on

I love gates like this, with all the curly-wurly iron work. I just like that it’s unusual, it’s like the owners of the house decided to put that little bit of extra spangle to their homestead. Mind the perfectionist/artist in me can’t help seeing the one broken ironwork each time I look at this photo. Did you even notice it? ^_^

Corny

Proffessor H, hamster extraordinaire, is checking out his latest corncob. He truly loves them. Whenever he gets a new one, he walks around it, tentatively touching it with his wee paws, like he can’t quiet believe it’s there. Then he scrambles onto of it and proceeds to start nibbling diligently. He’s a little critter and the cob is mighty big, but don’t underestimate him. He can polish of an entire cob in just a week! Herbivores ‘who eat large quantities of plant matter’ rule!!

Seedy fruit

This is a Dragonfruit. Isn’t it queer? It’s bright neon pink on the outside and bright, neon purple on the inside! It has the consistency of a kiwi fruit but not much taste really, sort of like sweet but bland. I’d rather eat the kiwi. But you must admit, it’s eye-catching! (Do you know that if you eat too much of them your pee will go purple? Don’t go telling kids that!!)

Little office on the prairie

Oh my gosh! Isn’t this the cutest little police station you’ve ever seen? I was following the signs on my walk. Police station 2km – 1km etc, and I expected a large mess of buildings and cars and buff men in unfairly cool boots. Instead I come to this little titbit which had one car outside and space inside for what, maybe 5 squished officers? It appeals to me so much, I have no idea why! Can I have one?
