Tentacles from space
Jul. 10th, 2011 08:19 pmToday the Australian government announced our new carbon tax. According to the ABC's handy calculator, the impact on me personally will be $304, while I will get $303 back through income tax changes. So it's going to cost me one whole dollar. I think I can live with that.
Rather than buying a keyboard, as I mentioned a few days ago, I decided to find out just how out of tune my piano is. Not as much as I thought, it seems. There are a couple of dud notes, but, really, how often am I going to play the E two octaves below middle C? Not very, I should think. Anyway, I dug out some of my old sheet music yesterday and plinked away for a bit. So that was fun.
Anyway, photos of the day. If I were to make a list of the things my f-list likes looking at photos of, based on the number of views of my weekly photos, it would consist of police cars, old cannons, chocolate cake and those puffy pink flowers that grow in my garden. To that list, I can now add the baffling but runaway favourite from last week: slices of pumpkin. For those of you who missed it, ( here it is: )
Admire that, pumpkin fans!
This week, one of my photos of the day was a hurried snap of a lone Uno card in a car park, tramped into a puddle. Oh, it looked sad. Even sadder, though, was when I got home and found that it was all blurry, so I had to take an emergency photo of Percy. Hmph.
The local paper promised on its front page that this weekend we would see eight metre waves. Eight metres! I couldn't miss that, and yet I did. So yesterday and today's photos are of the ocean and its lack of eight metre waves.
Day 184. Half a lemon in half a lemon, Day 185. Rainbow, Day 186. Percy looking classy, Day 187. A fringe of leaves, Day 188. The weekly shop, Day 189. Not eight metres, day 1, Day 189a. Spiky pink flower, Day 189b. Snowdrops, Day 190. Not eight metres, day 2
