more piccies

[deird1]

Here they are again!

Day 239:


I have NEVER been this close to a kookaburra in my life before. SO VERY CLOSE.




Day 240:


Nathan with his mummy. He's currently very attached to her, and cries whenever she's not visible.



Day 241:


This is what my backyard looks like at the start of spring. All nice and green...



Day 242:


Question: were The Spectre a superhero, rather than a basketball mascot, what would his powers be? (I'm thinking teleportation and the ability to strike terror in other's hearts.)



Day 243:


My cross-stitch continues to grow... slowly...



Day 244:


Here is Elf, wondering why on earth I'm waving a camera around rather than hurrying up and letting him inside.



Day 245:


A restaurant in St Kilda.

A much more boring restaurant than most of St Kilda - from a photo-taking perspective, at least - but they have some very yummy meals.



Day 246:


This is a tree-top walk in the Otway Ranges.

You walk around on these big metal walkways, watching gum trees sway beside you. (And gum trees apparently sway a LOT when you're up high.)



Day 247:


So, you know those crash-test dummies they put in cars to simulate what happens to people in a car accident?

This is a crash-test kangaroo. (For outside the car, not inside.)



Day 248:


Technology marches on...

I have finally given up on my 17-year-old alarm clock, and bought a fancy new one, complete with digital radio and iPhone holder. They look rather different, don't they?



Day 249:


Here is my cousin, holding Michael.

After years of jetsetting around the world, she's finally decided to try living in Melbourne. Yay!



Day 250:


I have a lovely boyfriend who brings me flowers. He's just terrific.



Day 251:


Two years ago, if you recall, I planted some flowers along my front fence.

And here they are! Blooming and everything!



Day 252:


We had the Backyard Bard at church last night, performing bits of John. Here's the church, getting set up beforehand...
