This is a stuffed cow that my friend’s youngest son one in one of those machines where you toggle the claw around, he wasn’t fussed with it but I scored it! YAY me…I love cows!

Uh oh not the blue screen!

Always a favourite of any computer user, the “blue screen of death” – though I know it doesn’t always indicate the death of a computer, often just a problem that needs sorting out. Still it strikes fear into a person when it appears!

Going Batty!

Visiting a friend in a local resort, we were sitting out on the balcony when this fruit bat decided to fly in and eat the palm berries only about 5 feet away from us. It was fun but a little squealy at the same time as we didn’t want it getting too close to us. Still, I think they do have quite a cute face and are interesting to watch up close.

Blown Eggs

These are only chicken eggs, I’ve decorated eggs in the past and still have some eggs to work on (ostrich and emu) but lack the tools at the moment. I had two eggs that weren’t quite agreeing with my digestive system so I blew them and decided to make something of them but I can’t say any more as it’s a secret! Shhhhhhhh

Needless to say, Willow enjoyed what came out of them!

Licorice nom nom nom

Another purchase from the British Lolly Shop was a bag of licorice….it was beautiful!

Dolly Mix is an Old Favourite

The night before we stumbled upon the British Lolly Shop in Chevron Renaissance and couldn’t resist buying some old favourites and one of those was Dolly Mix for me! I held off eating them as long as I could!

Shrove Tuesday

wendishness — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 09:05:46 +0000

Shrove Tuesday is a term associated in English-speaking countries, especially the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the United States for the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of the season of fasting and prayer called Lent.

In the United Kingdom and many other countries, the day is often known as Pancake Day. Making and eating such foods was considered a last feast with ingredients such as sugar, fat and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent.

From Wikipedia.

And it was pancakes tonight, I love them with orange juice on them…I always enjoy eating the squeezed oranges afterwards.

Hard Rock Cafe Guitar in Surfers Paradise

A friend of mine recently asked if the billboard was still next to the guitar, she hadn’t seen this for a while so as I was in Surfers Paradise, I snapped a quick photo to show her it was still there. *waves to Penny*

Happy….what day is it today?

Happy Valentine’s Day if you believe in it – I don’t – the commercialism has spoiled it for me!

Happy Halloweeen if you don’t like it

Happy Willow’s Birthday if you want another way out (see yesterday’s photo for info on that)
