nothing but photos...

(Yes, folks, I'm still alive.)


Day 225:


This is my really cool thermometer. It was a 21st birthday present, and has lived in my bedroom ever since.

Extremely useful - especially since it's so big and colour-coded. I can look blearily across the room, and find out the temperature when I'm still in my nice warm bed...




Day 226:


Here is a photo of photos.

This is a wall at my parents' house, filled with family photos (spanning several decades). My nephews love it - they find it so fascinating looking at all of us when we were younger.



Day 227:


This is a church near my work. I thought it was pretty.



Day 228:


Car seats!

When you go into a baby shop, and ask about car seats, the shop assistants immediately ask how old your child is - and then look at you really weirdly when you start explaining that you don't have any kids...

I've had one of these for a while, but only bought the second on the weekend (because Caleb no longer fits into the first). Very useful transportation for nephews.



Day 229:


This... is a cow seat.

The waiting room at my massage place is decorated with cow patterns - most of which just look kinda cute. But these square boxes really freak me out, because they're actual cow fur. (Fur? Do cows have fur?)



Day 230:


Spring is here! Very early!

This tree is across the street from my house, and I get to see it gradually flowering more and more every morning...



Day 231:


A weird wall in a St Kilda restaurant.

(Given that this is St Kilda, I should probably just be grateful that it wasn't a psychedelic forcefield made out of jelly squares.)

I'm thinking cow hide. Is that the wrong term? I've had about a bottle of wine, hard to tell if vocab is appropriate.

I've coveted those thermometer thing before. #jealous

We're just starting autumn. Longer nights, crispy leaves. I like your magnolia. #veryjealous

That church is gorgeous!

Aw man, I was in St Kilda yesterday for breakfast, and the rstaurant had these awesome light fittings that looked like jellyfish. I should have taken a photo - why didn't I take a photo?

I always take a camera to St Kilda...

It's Laney, stupid dw won't let me log in, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG.

I want to see a psychedelic forcefield made out of jelly squares.

Alternatively, I dare you to write a one-shot where someone is making one.


(Also, the one photo I have ever taken purely for artistic reasons was a photo of photos, specifically some of those ones, except when they were on Mum and Dad's lamp table, and they were blurred but you could tell there were definitely a black-and-white one and a colourful family one and a wedding one and a baby one, and there was also a melted candle, and a rose in a vase, and another flower with, like, blossomy petals that kept wafting down over the photos, CAN-WE-SEE-ALL-THE-NICE-SYMBOLISM-OF-PASSING-TIME-HERE.

Except that I SUCK AT TAKING PHOTOS, so what was actually in focus was the freaking LAMPSHADE, which should have been the background object, so it spoiled the whole thing and I have never taken another arty photo again, THE END.)

...cows have feathers, everybody knows that.

Heh. :)

I have a Galilean thermometer like that - and it is warmer in my house at the moment than it was when you took that picture.
