Sunset at Moombaki, Christmas Eve:
The Lego® Alien Abduction was a real hit with Finn. He reckons they perform laser eye surgery on the farmer, along with the usual unspeakable experiments:
Driving home along the Albany Highway, we encountered the very pink, very desolate Tunney Roadhouse: a great cover for an Alien Invasion control centre, in say a John Waters or Tim Burton movie:
Hope you had a great Christmas.
Today’s jogography instalment: I ran all the way up to the Reabold Hill Summit – what an amazing early morning view of the city! Next, a sadly deflated Santa (or maybe just a big night).
Always happy to have an excuse to goof-off for the day, last week presented the perfect opportunity with (yet) another birthday.
So I took myself off to see a French movie @ Paradiso, cruised around New Edition bookshop, groovy stores and Outré in Northbridge, indulged in champagne at the Art Gallery, then home for cake and more champagne. The storm dented the dinner plans, but I think I’d had enough sugar and excitement for one day! Lunch with the gals on Saturday at the Boulevard Floreat with more lovely presents, and my new dressmaking mannequin arrived from Tessuti… it keeps on going!
In the movie Yes Man, Zooey Deschanel holds a jogging and photography course – I have my own solo version I call ‘Jogography’, where I sometimes grab a snap of the early-morning sky. I also stop to pat a few cats.
Now that December has dawned, bringing with it the onset of Christmas Panic Syndrome, maybe it’s a good time to get one thing sorted. My sweet sister is offering some wonderful bonuses at Moombaki for mailing list customers, and as usual is helping someone else in the process – Oxfam Save Water/Save Lives project.
I suggest you take the initiative and Save Water/Drink Wine over Christmas! Moombaki is endorsed by the most venerated critics, including James Halliday, Ray Jordan and Trixie, as you can see.
Go get some now!
Our little cat Trixie has beautiful markings – and I was struck by how her colours are replicated in our feature stone fireplace. But I only had a split second to try and shoot it – she disdainfully stalked off.
No pictures please!
Ahh! Spring is in the air. And what a special treat to see Mr & Mrs Duck escort their 10 little ones across our front lawn yesterday. Hoping all 10 come back..
