I've been at semi permanent today.  excellent stuff

this chap wrote a little book on walks and wanders round getting people to get excited about walking.  that's a great thing. 

i've a shirt like his.  mine is red

i am daily shocked by this savoury muffin concept.  not right.

i love opening a new box of weet-bix

120509_s95_img_1424.jpg

i like to use the flat end of a spoon

120509_s95_img_1426.jpg

but the real delight is lifting the gentle plastic flaps to reveal the perfect line of weet-bix biscuits.

120509_s95_img_1428.jpg

later that same day i opened a new box of breakfast bars at work

120509_s95_img_1430.jpg

i only had an imported british biro

120509_s95_img_1431.jpg

the result wasn't nearly as satisfying

we live quite near a national sporting institute place so we often bump in to national sporting icons (i've seen gold olympian valerie adams a few times)

120509_s95_img_1438.jpg

yesterday there were a few more as a number of NZ olympians were there for a meet and greet (swimmers and a couple of cyclists i think)

120508_s95_img_1416.jpg

they'd done the place up in a london-esque way which was quite amusing

120508_s95_img_1417.jpg

but they'd made it slightly too authentic with ripped posters in the phone box

120508_s95_img_1418.jpg

and dirty windows (all part of the cardboard cutout print thing)

120508_s95_img_1419.jpg

and the underground sign was also printed deliberately dirty.  great stuff

120508_s95_img_1421.jpg

a few things struck me:  they all seemed like really nice people who were keen for a chat

120509_s95_img_1436.jpg

and there was no security or attempt to 'control' their appearance.  they were just great kiwi guys and girls hanging out with the public (behind a big long white table!)

120509_s95_img_1437.jpg

the national TV news turned up but even that was uneventful.  no security.  no bother. 

120509_s95_img_1439.jpg

sweet as !

here's some wedding photos going on

120505_s95_img_1400.jpg

on closer inspection the bride was photographing the groom and vice versa

120505_s95_img_1401.jpg

good thinking the official photographer to outsource some of his work

120505_s95_img_1398.jpg

something's not right with those toes

120505_s95_img_1397.jpg

120505_s95_img_1395.jpg

autumn has finally arrived in auckland just as we role in to winter

120505_s95_img_1361.jpg

not that you notice as most trees are evergreens.  but some aren't

dirt is what makes the countryside the countryside.  don't try and sweep it up.

i've commented before on the new zealand lover (or toleration) of bashed up mannequins.  here's a classic example

120414_s95_img_1041.jpg

120423_s95_img_1182.jpg

120423_s95_img_1180.jpg

good use of equals signs

120423_s95_img_1174.jpg

120423_s95_img_1175.jpg

120422_s95_img_1171.jpg

some of the trees are slightly upside down
