Live from the BBC (and a few other pics from this week)
I’m no big fan of motor vehicles, but that is a fine looking machine.

Advert for Myki top-up at 7-11 talks up the fact that it’s instant, without the delay of online top-up.

And finally, from a friend’s kids’ party last weekend… this castle had a high quotient of princesses in towers. Razing it was a lot easier than in medieval times:



Jupiter and the Moon
For those who missed seeing Jupiter and the Moon last night, here’s a picture:
Sorry, it’s never going to be brilliant from a handheld camera. Shoulda grabbed my tripod — it worked quite well for the smiley in the sky a few years ago.
Melbourne, from Mornington
I thought it was not bad for a handheld point-and-shoot camera.
Don’t cross Rusty
You might recall last month I posted a picture of Jack the dog:

Jack is a friendly dog. Rusty… not so much.
The hay shed at sunset, Christmas night
Pics from last week
You can tell I don’t have a good blog post ready to go when I post a bunch of pictures. Here’s a few from last week (that you may have seen if you follow me on Twitter).
Mer Chri! — This was on Thursday night — by Friday they’d put up the other letters. Below the picture they’d put in supports earlier in the week — you can see the full set in this picture from last year. They must keep all the letters in a depot somewhere for the rest of the year.

Preparing to bring Thursday night’s train chaos into your livingroom — this is Andrew Lund from Channel 9, wired-up and about to report live from Flinders Street Station

The robots are coming! — Alan Kohler always likes a one-liner in his financial graphs.

Jack’s having a rest — Jack knows in an open paddock, sometimes the only shade is underneath the ute. Meanwhile, I had to continually pick grass seeds off my socks.

End of the week pics
Pretty funny: Southern Cross Station has departure signs sponsored by Red Rooster. In part because they show less information, they actually have fewer errors than the official signs — but beware — it appears they don’t show trains departing in less than 10 minutes (because they want you to think there’s time to go and buy a snack from them).

(More on these signs at Marcus Wong’s blog)
Interesting… ummm… tree watchamacallit in Footscray:

Last of my birthday gifts was last night (thank you M): superb tickets to Bill Bailey. Very funny stuff — go see him if you get the chance. Row AA was about four rows from the front. Fantastic.

Hamer Hall is very impressive… we made sure to go in early to admire the new renovation.

Here’s what happens when you try and run a red light, but don’t make it across.

Is it just me who finds these fake birds at Bunnings a bit creepy when viewed en masse?

Stubbly me
There are times when a random snap turns out to be quite a good photo — without any cropping or editing. Jeremy snapped this on the way back from camping a couple of weeks ago. I like it.
