Sometimes you meet very friendly people and chat as I did in the 'wait' queue for lunch.
Then I asked for an image; 'sure' they happily replied..
Image created.
Decided to do something different, funky in a sense, with it ..
I hope they like it when they see it .. and now, a day later, they sent a message expressing their joy with the image.
Win Win they say ..

A life changing message on Oxley Beach
In our day when political parties desire only to attack each other to win elections, when conservatives detest progressives and progressives hate conservatives, when the academic considers people of faith to be irrelevant and people of faith discount the findings of the academia and the environmentalist despise the industrialist, this little message, painted on a rock and placed on a bolder on the beach by some school kids could bring hope into a very troubled world.

The "Human Products" series is inspired by and expanding upon the Barcode Art of Scott Blake (www.barcodeart.com/). In that regard it is a "meta-" art project.
It concerns our functionality in modern society as Human Products that have to "sell themselves" to others as good as possible in order to survive, as well as the obsession with plastic/flawless beauty that turns people into more attractive, and thus more easily "sold", Products (I have opted to use the term "Modoll" for this aspect).
Many thanks to Irene Astral (www.facebook.com/ireneastral) for co-creating this series and to Agapi and Danai for being kind enough to co-pose!
1. At school I had an intense hatred for computers... All they ever did was crash or give me ominous warnings about the consequences of pressing even 1 more key! I’d do the same thing as my neighbour; theirs would be fine but mine would start sputtering angry messages at me. Luckily, I'm now competent and happy using them, apart from when I want to throw them out the window!
2. A lesson I enjoyed much more was Latin. I had the now unusual opportunity to study it to GCSE level. We did a 4 yr course in 2 yrs, even though it was tough sometimes, I'm always pleased I'd taken it, as it was so fascinating...
3.I don’t like heights. Well, I do like heights when viewed safely behind glass, metal or bricks. I’m perfectly happy in tall buildings, cable cars and planes... What I don’t like are heights where you have to rely on yourself to keep from falling. Like cliffs. My feet find it hard enough keeping me upright on a flat surface, never mind trusting them on a rocky cliff edge.
4.I’ve said I like reading before, so here are some of my favourite books/authors: Bill Bryson’s books, the Harry Potter series (admit it, we’d all like to learn magic rather than maths at school). “The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy”, “Chronicles of Ancient Darkness” (about a boy who can talk to wolves – awesome!), “Merle’s Door”, “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee”, “Falling Leaves”, “Never Cry Wolf” & “Lord of the Rings” are great! I love Austen, the Bronte’s and Dickens too.
5.When I buy books, I usually prefer looking in second hand book shops. I love the old book smell & you never know what you’re going to find hidden away in a dusty corner! I can happily spent hrs in an old book shop :)
6.I’m not very adventurous when it comes to food. It took me yrs to discover curry can be tasty and stir fries really aren’t frightening. As I’ve said before, I’m a veggie and have been my entire life. People always ask if I “miss” eating meat but honestly as I’ve never tried it; it never bothers me in the slightest. I’ll stick to “Quorn” :)
7. Talking of Quorn... (A meat substitute made from fungi, if you're wondering!). Before the development of "Quorn" scientists had gone all over the world looking for fungi or plants to create a new product for veggies and found nothing suitable... Then, eventually (presumably in desperation!) they collected a sample of a fungus growing happily on top of some goal posts next to their company building and discovered it was just perfect!! You’d think knowing Quorn comes from something found on a goal post would put me off eating it but strangely, it hasn’t!!
8.That last one wasn’t really a fact about me was it? I’m one of those easily distracted people who tend to suddenly veer completely off topic during conversations. Many times I’ve watched people's faces go blank in utter bemusement at a seemingly out of the blue comment, although of course, it always made sense in my head! If I ever do that when commenting on your photos, I’m sorry!!
9. I love drawing and have stacks and stacks of sketch books at home, most with barely any drawings in them. I am always getting new sketch pads & returning home to see half a dozen more tossed around my bedroom! It's really bad, I just can’t resist books full of blank, white paper...
10.I hate the taste of coffee but like the smell of it. I’m not quite sure why anyone would want to know that but there you go... Frankly I’m struggling to think of yet another 10 facts about me, hence the digression into the production of meat substitutes and my dislike of coffee ;-)
I'm very impressed with anyone who reads all that :) I know you're meant to Tag 10 more people when you've played this game but well, most have been tagged already and I'll be away anyway so would no doubt miss reading what people say!! My last upload till after I get back from holiday... Catch up with everyone when I get back :)

After I had spotted this coyote walking along the road at the top of Bodega Head, I followed him for a bit in my car. Then as the road ended and another car joined me to watch, this coyote pulled up and sent us a very clear message. The squinty eyed expression of disdain says it all. And you can see the rest of the message near its back foot.
Yes, I have more explicit photos of the message delivery, but I will spare you. Although the whole thing made me laugh. And, based on the evidence you can see here, I can tell you this is a healthy and well fed animal. But this coyote did not have much fear of humans.

Lagoona leaves a message for Frankie on her Light Up Message Board. :)
68005 Defiant and 68021 Tireless have just popped down to Daventry to collect the 'messages' and are now on their way to Mossend. It's not quite 0630 and spitting with rain, the promise of good weather at 0500 was well and truly dashed by this time!
Lovely letters in glass bottles I found in Chelsea market. I liked the photo as is, so here it is the SOOC image :)
Hope everyone had a fun and fulfilling weekend!
نعم أشتقت
وأحبك حد الثماله
لا تعاتب .. فضروفي أصبحت أقوى من ذي قبل !
قد أبتسم واضحك واقول كل ما هو مفرح
ليس لاني كذلك !
بل محاوله لاكبت حزني
واشعرك بعكس ما انا عليه وتسعد
لاجعلك تفرح لاني سعيده
لكن ! لست كما انا اللتي تعهدها ,
أصبحت جسدا خاوي فعلاً
أعيش يومي لوحدي , بين هلوسات وخيالات وأسمك
لا ينعشني الا ذكر إسمك وذكرياتك الجميله
بتّ لا اطيق رؤيه اي وجه حتى وجهي بالمرآه
ماذا دهاك ؟ فأنا محبوبتك , دلوعتك , دنيتك !
انا من قلبها بين يديك , ومعنى حياتها انت !
هل تلبستك الشكوك أم ماذا ؟
لا تخف فأنا كما أنا ..
أحبك

Since last summer, Scotty the Blue Bunny has been away in Sweden - bunnies are migratory animals, as it turns out. It's good to see him home again, and back out on the burlesque circuit.
Scotty learned a few years ago that a man in a bunny suit armed with a microphone can say just about anything to just about anyone, which makes him a dangerous, hilarious, and unpredictable host. You sit in front at your peril. And woe betide anyone who tries to send a text message while he's watching.
See it bigger - he's a pretty tall bunny.
