They're BIG on these things...


Perth has recently acquired a Big Wheel on the foreshore. NOT quite the London Eye, but this is Perth people.

If that doesn't rock your boat, you can travel to Swan Hill, Victoria to see their Big Cod.












Or Kingston, SA to see their Big Lobster.













BUT I quite fancy the Big Croc in Humpty Doo!


A Hat for Aberdeen

The Perfect Gift for the Boy who just wants to stand...







All day, all night, in the bath...oh Lord help me when he walks...



PS: The gift is from the credit card. The shopping expedition involved a 2 hour round trip in 35 degree heat to the shop advertising the half price Exersaucer's which seemed like a good idea at 2am whilst entertaining the Duracel Bunny who would not sleep nor lie nor sit nor feed nor heed his mother's stern warnings that no good would come this late night energy burstiness.



Anyway, so OBVIOUSLY they were all sold out of half priced Exersaucer but did have the ones with gold leaf inlay never mind the bells and whistles, which then led to much bunny-in-headlights browsing and phonecalls to the father ("i'm not a retard" she says to her husband so no could coming of that either) and yes, they did have a toilet that I could have used, but there was a plumber in there and he would be in there for an hour. Fixing it I hope and I don't believe THAT one for a minute! But that SERIOUSLY affected my decision making and added to my inability to choose something age appropriate and led to some other purchases not actually required as these things always do. Like this natty thing:





But did laugh overhearing a couple browsing for a gift.



He says " inaudible, inaudible ... because she's fat".
She says,"She's NOT fat, she's just got a big head!"





Now THAT'S going to be my excuse from now on!


That and "I'm not pissed, retarded or thick. I haven't slept more than 3 hours in a row for 9 months and then some so SHELVE IT..."



PS: This, people, is an "Exersaucer" when it's at someone else's home.
