Lunchtime walk

Scenes I encountered on today's lunchtime walk.

Yesterday, this monkey was lying on the ground. Today he was hanging off a lamp post. I hope there is nothing sinister going on ...

Giant daisies - my favourite summer flower.

A splash of red peeping through.

A friendly creature on someone's garage wall.

Paddling their way through summer.

This pussy cat was more interested in rubbing up against me than being in a photo. No matter how quickly I moved, he still got to me before I could snap his picture!

Day 120 - Humpy doo

Humpy doo

This is our childhood toy, made by my father when I was just a few months old. I have no idea why it's called a humpy doo, other than my parents would sing "humpy doo, humpy day" while rocking us in it. My brother and I played with it for a couple of years and now it is enjoyed by my 19-month-old nephew. The only problem is, he thinks it has wheels instead of a rocker, as he is used to being pushed around in it. As soon as he climbs inside now, he expects someone to come and push him! Hmm, I wonder if there is any way of attaching a small motor and a steering wheel? ;-)

Day 67 - Sneezy the dragon

Sneezy the dragon

Off to the UK next week to meet his new playmate once he or she is born
