As anyone who has been folowing this Project365 will know, I am about to tke part in a production of Beauty And The Beast. This will be a "show in a week" at the Dunblane Centre. We gather on Monday morning and put on a show on the Friday evening. Wow!
We recently were given permission to give out some advertising leaflets for the show in the Thistles shopping centre, Stirling. Because of the short notice, however, only a few f the adult cast could go. And since the three characters you really want to see from this show are Belle, The Beast and Lumiere, a little bit of costume swapping had to go on.
So that is how I found myself in the Thistle Centre, dressed as The Beast, on a glorious Saturday afternoon. Gillian was of course Belle, and Leigh borrowed Lumiere's costume for the day.
The reactions from the public were great! We had loads of people asking to have their photographs taken with us - not just kids - probably more photos taken with adults than kids! And people seemed genuinely in the show too - I wonder how many will come?
Clearly I didn't take this picture, it was taken by Pamela, the director and organiser of the show. Thanks, Pam!
I was going to get a shot of the "National Week of Deaf People" projection on the front of Town Hall for tonight's Project365 shot, but there was too much light to get a decent photo.
The projection can be seen here though youtu.be/obN9xw5pVcU
I ended up doing some headlight trails instead.
A closer view of the statue can be seen on Day 64/365
Dia 24 do Project365. Um sorvete na hora do almoço. Bem mais bonita a embalagem dos cornettos agora.
Completing expense forms is such an arduous task. It took me just over an hour this morning to submit everything through the system.
Jun 14 The comb was a little dusty so I cleaned it thus the water droplet. Fascinating stuff I know :-)
So... sorry to anybody who has been wondering where my Project365 has disappeared to over the past couple of weeks. I've been on holiday, and I'm not a great one for telling the world I'm about to leave the house empty for a fortnight! However, I'll be trying to catch up soon... prepare for some cheesy holiday snaps!
This is Marie and Jenni at Glasgow Airport, waiting for us to be allowed to board our slightly-delayed Jet2 flight to Nice. We were delayed an hour or so; not nearly so bad as the flight that was twelve hours late a few gates further along the corridor. That one had Police keeping order!
Once we got on to the flight, everything went smoothly. We got to Nice airport (a fun place; the runway extends out into the sea, and you can't see any land until the very last moment. You sit there, wondering if you're really on a sea plane!), then it became apparent that I had lost my mobile phone.
Some sweet nothings then ensued between husband and wife...
We got a note of the airport's lost property office phone number, then went to get our car. By now we were really late, and by the time we got to the camp site we were going to the only person we could find was the security guard. Luckily, he was able to raise a Eurocamp rep, and even though our car had to stay outside the camp site, we were able to get to our van and collapse for the night. Thank goodness that Eurocamp provided a bottle of wine on arrival :-)
Today's Project 365 photo is another "Then & Now" to commemorate the 157th Anniversary of the Eureka Rebellion and the 38th Anniversary of when this original photo was taken.
The original one was taken by a photographer from The Courier newspaper and shows my Grandfather, Lex Rizzoli when he was the Mayor of Ballarat, with Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and the always stylish Al Grassby.
After being stored in a drawer for many years, the flag was hung above the stairs of the gallery. It later moved into a climate and light controlled environment and last year was sent to South Australia for restoration. It arrived back in Ballarat a couple of days ago and is available for public viewing again as of today.
It's been raining on and off this week, so an umbrella seemed like an appropriate photo. This sign has been on top of the Insurance Exchange Building since the early 1960s. Even though it is the former logo of the Travelers Insurance Company, the sign is still maintained by the current building owner. The sign is more than 3 stories tall, and is an icon in downtown Des Moines.
I took several photos of this, and had no idea which one to select for the daily shot. Even though the sign is neon red, I ended up going with a b/w photo because I liked how it gave the feel of an earlier era as well as the look of the fog rolling over the top of the building in the background.
Yes... they need to be cleaned... I can see that now!

RAW shot straight out of the camera (apart from the slight vignette added in photoshop). It took everything I am to stop myself from turning this into sepia ;-)
I had a new set of books for Christmas. I must go around with my eyes shut though (either that, or my glasses need a good clean!), because I have never heard of Edward Cullen or the books about him. Anyway.... I started reading the first in the series, and I can't put it down! I'm just over halfway through and have barely done anything else today but read!
So, having done this most of today, I thought it apt to take a photograph of what has taken up my time.
This is shot on my bedside table and yes... that's a photograph of me in the background, pregnant on my youngest - taken 20months ago now - how time has flown! Also seated behind the book, although you can see him in his entirety, is Tommy - he is one of my prized Deans Bears, bought for me by my husband some years ago.
Quite possibly the only development "gap" on Vancouver's main drag, Granville Street, that will probably remain a "gap" because of it's limited width.

project365 - 032/366
Here is the finished product from the red yarn a couple days ago. My wife made a crochet Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba for our two year old son for his birthday.
PATTERN IS HERE:
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens/Exposure: 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6@62 mm / ISO 800 / ¹⁄₁₃ sec at f/5.3 / Aperture priority / Handheld
Today's Project 365 pic was rather easy to get. I just stoop in the carpark at work and shot these guys working on the cellular equipment that is mounted on the old chimney stack next door.
While not as high as @jemban got in the cage at the new Ballarat Health Services site ( www.thecourier.com.au/multimedia/27929/ballarat-from-the-... ), it is still higher than I would like to go while hanging off a crane.
100 days of Project 365 to go!

Oh no, My head is spinning a bit. We went to an art auction tonight in the heart of Sydney. Alex's Mum's school held an auction for the pre-school kids' artworks. One artwork was auctioned for $1000 - a group of 3 year old's sold a piece worth $750 and another piece for $750... I felt like such an under-achiever - so I decided to soak my subtle sorrow with some free champagne...
I'm just sobering up now, but the walls are still a bit tilted :o) Got work tomorrow. Hope you're having a happy and inebriated weekend dear friends. Drink responsibly... or at least have someone near by to drag your drunk ass back to the car and drive you safely home :o)
Q. What do you get when you cross Eurovision with Justin Bieber?
A. Today's Project 365 pic, 1960's Dutch singing sensation 'Heintje'.
Another classic title that if you play it backwards it summons the Devil.

I took my oldest son out to play in the snow this morning while my 20mth old was in the warm with his dad (was just too cold and windy for him this morning). My 5yr old was supposed to be building a snowman with me..... but he was busy playing in the snow to help - then he went indoors - leaving me with an unfinished project! So... naturally, I had to finish! There was my son, indoors, mouthing instructions to me through the window!!!
So, here is my snowman - no help at all from my little man!
