lost passport photos is one of my original collections - i've been collecting them for what must be 20 years.  in the digital age they've become less common which makes a find even more exciting.

110720_s95_img_4421.jpg

sadly my website which houses them is a bit out of date.  maybe one day i'll get that sorted

110720_s95_img_4426.jpg

i grew my hair because it's cold out, but now we've moved to a warm house.  so off it went again.

this is our new family member.  he's called Bruce and was inherited when we bought the house from the previous owners (who are lovely).

it's mid winter here at the moment and school holidays.  and we moved house at the weekend.  so i took a couple of days off for unpacking and fun.

today was the fun bit as we went to the local mini golf place.

sharks are bad enough when they are in the sea. they are often seen around new zealand, but rarely eat anyone (unlike in australia for example).

instead they've attempted to become more respectable by offering loans.  i hope they haven't bitten off more than they can chew

(and i'm saddened comments are still not working because i would have loved to have read your fishy bank puns)

110621_s95_img_4061.jpg

110620_s95_img_4056.jpg

not as good as uk versions, but still nice on a winter evening

110620_s95_img_4053.jpg

it's always worth reading the back of things.  this is particularly good.
