project 365: week two

[deird1]

Day 8:


This is my former housemate.

She says this hat would look awesome on anyone; I think it mainly looks awesome on her.



Day 9:


The Botanical Gardens, as seen from the middle.

I was sitting here for five minutes, looking down the hill. There's this old painting from about here, that was painted in the late 19th century: it showed all the buildings in the middle of the city. Now, they're pretty much hidden behind trees.



Day 10:


My attempts to become a cyborg!

Currently they're very low-tech - a walking stick, orthotics, and glasses - but I'm sure to be wired for robotic arms any day now.



Day 11:


This is Sister #1's bathroom, in the middle of being gutted.

Eventually it will be a very pretty room. Or so I'm told...



Day 12:


These here are the longest escalators in the southern hemisphere.

I go up them every morning, and down them every evening.



Day 13:


The yummiest souffle I've ever eaten.

kerithave and I went to a fancy French restaurant for her birthday, and had roast duck, followed by souffle (me) and creme brulee (her). So very yummy.



Day 14:


My sisters! The beach! My sisters at the beach! Woo!

I was unfortunately wearing shoes and socks, and couldn't fully enjoy the beachy fun. But I did get to take lots of photos... and then bought thongs the next day. (No, Americans. Not thongs; thongs.)


I have two more, but they'll have to wait until next week's batch.




ETA: Urgent help required!

I just figured out that links to tumblr photos - or at least the links I've got - expire after a few days.

How on earth can I get links to the photos that will stay up without me having to update all my photo posts every week???

(No, Americans. Not thongs; thongs.)

Even Americans get confused. When I was listening in on a customer call when I worked at a company that sold swimsuits, and when the rep asked a woman if she wanted to buy thongs with her suits, she said, "Oh god no! I've had six kids!"

Your ex-housemate reminds me of someone I know through work. This goes to prove my husband's theory (as someone whose hobby for many years was painting D&D figures) that God only has a limited number of figures.

I think those very long escalators might make me feel dizzy... and I now have soufflé envy!

Maybe try flickr?

I share the souffle envy with the other commenter. *sighs*

I remember when the thong song came out many, many years ago I was confused for an embarrassingly long time by the definition of 'thong'.
