photos: happy easter!!

quicko: life lesson

It seems it is not such a hot idea to rent a car on Easter Saturday without pre-booking.  There won't be any left.  (And even if they were, they wouldn't be able to be returned on Easter Monday because it's also a holiday here and everything's still closed.)

Good thing Manly is only a gorgeous ferry ride away.

quicko: butterfingers

They don't have Butterfingers here.  Not in candy bar form, not in ice cream topping form, not in any form.  It's taken five years, but, man, I'd really like a Butterfingers just now.

quicko: have you seen this cereal??

Plus Sports -- it's been my staple morning cereal for ages now and Coles has suddenly stopped selling it.  They sell lots of other Plus -- women's or fiber or whatever -- but my blue box Plus is missing.  I have one box left that I'm getting pretty sentimental about.  Not sure I've got the heart to tear into it, knowing it may well be my last.  Alas!

bus bloopers: the flat tire (tyre)

I suppose it's on obvious potential problem with any wheel-ridden wagon (it alliterates better that way, come on), but it's still not fun when it happens to your bus.  I overheard the driver say he was quite surprised because it was actually a brand new bus ... thankfully we were over the bridge at the time and were actually allowed out to walk to Wynyard from the ramp and no real damage was done.  This time.

quicko: coriander

AKA cilantro.
