The Floor After.

The finished job. The two gentleman that I could not communicate with appear to have done a reasonable job.

PENALTIES APPLY.

Today I went on one of my semi regular trips to the aerodrome. For the first time ever I parked on the side of the freeway and waited for the call. Fortunately I was not penalised or anal-ysed.

Ansonia Kitchen Clock.

Another wedding present. This clock was made in the 1910s or 1920s by the Ansonia Clock Co., New York City, United States of America. It worked quite well until at 029hrs I decided I didn't like the way it chimed. I'm sure it will continue to work well in its new home.

The Floor Before.

These boards are in the new Thomas abode. I pulled some nails and staples out of them in preparation for polishing.

Mardi Gras.

Today is Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day). I got these beads when I was at Mardi Gras in New Orleans in 2002. They are a constant reminder of some of the loosest days I have ever lived.

166 Lygon Street North, Brunswick.

A Scotty Dog.

I do not know what this is called.

Minimal research says it may be a boutonnière, whatever it is I wore it on my jacket in the wedding yesterday and it was still attached to the suit when I was putting it away.

The Wedding.

Mike and Paige became Mr and Mrs Thomas today. Excellent day had by all. Hoorah.

Dom Pérignon, Vintage 2000

A wedding present to Mile and Ragge. Not from me. Obviously.

For the record I took this photo very early on Friday morning and the shoe was Thursday, so I'm all squared away.

Eyes, Dunlop Volley Sport

And again.

Through a dirty windscreen on a cloudy day on the way to Ballarat.

1955 FJ Holden - Chiltern Cream

I can't resist taking photos of the FJ now that it is finished and looks so good. The big man put in a shit load of work and it's come up trumps.

Cats.

The last person to live in my friend Laura's flat left these miniature kitties. They are fantastic.

Go-Karts Trophy. Bride to be tiara.

I'm pretty sure I was wearing this tiara in the strip club for a while.

To The Victor The Spoils.

Mile in Parc fermé, having just won the main event at the Go-Karts on his Bucks Day. Very early in a long and eventful day.

Two for one.

A lot happened today so I'm exercising my right to publish two photos. The FJ Holden emerged from the shed after 11 months of hard work by Mile and others. This photo looks like it could have been taken in 1955.

Morris couch.

This was the front end of a Morris 1100, now it is a couch. I took this photo to include in the Bucks day quiz I knocked up for Mile.

RACQ badge, FJ.

Hopefully in less than 24 hours we will be able to go for a cruise in the FJ. Hoorah.

Viva La Vinyl.

The record collection came out today. I loved this movie so much when I was younger. So much.

A trip to the aerodrome.

What does this sign signify? "Here is a white dot"?

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Black

Contrary to popular belief this is probably the thing I play with most.

Fuck fire.

There is something twisted about lighting a candle for people lost in fire, but I did it nonetheless.

It is warm.

The Abruzzo Club's temperature sign is often on the high side but considering today's top temp has been 46.4 degrees, 50 is not that much of a stretch.

Aliens. Sydney Road.

NEWT
My mommy always said there were

no monsters - no real ones - but
there are.

RIPLEY
Yes, there are, aren't there?

NEWT
Why do they tell little kids
that?

RIPLEY
Most of the time it's true.

Southern Cross Station, 18:36.

Skunk.

This skunk is the logo of Lockheed Martin's Advanced Research Programs aka Skunk Works. I like the little sucker. He also doubles as an effective book mark.

Loco loco.

I went to Seymour to see more and be more, but all I saw was a boring old locomotive.

BILL POSTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED

Xmas flowers in early February.
