Aiden lights our Darkest Hour. It's not really a dark hour, but it's certainly dark outside. Aiden has a little lantern that runs on batteries, and he carries it around with him until it runs out of batteries. It lights up, so he loves it.
This afternoon RIk came with me for my appointment with the eye specialist (all good, he doesn't need to see me again).
The day was colder than Rik had been expecting and he only had a fleece and a T-shirt so, as I had a warm coat I loaned him my hat and scarf.
It was after 5pm when we finally left the hospital so we got some groceries then stopped for a bite to eat at Columbus Coffee (there was nowhere else open). As there are many things I cannot eat I decided to just have some chips. I was given the choice of "Straight, curly or wedges". I asked for wedges and Rik said "don't wedges have the skin on them?" I checked. They do. "oh," said the girl taking our order "do you need gluten free?" What???? Potatoes don't contain gluten!

I was out taking photos for MCP Project 52, of snow and berries. This bus sped by and I took a shot, without refocusing or checking exposure. No time for that. Even though I loved my berries image, this fits the theme even more. Soothing repetition... every day when the door closes and my twins get on the bus for school... Know the feeling? Check the bus drivers expression.
Here is my berries shot in case you wanted to see what did not make this week... www.flickr.com/photos/mcpactions/5393973599/

Lots and lots of pins - turning a pair of very long curtains from my house in England into two pairs of curtains to fit two rooms in my house in New Zealand.

This picture didn't turn out at all like planned. It also has too many bubbles and not enough glitter, but I'll make do.
For more information on, or to join The Crisis Project, visit: www.crisisproject.com
The Crisis Project was named after the interpretation of the definitions of the word Crisis:
“A stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, esp. for better or for worse, is determined; turning point “
“A condition of instability, or danger, as in a social, economic, political, or international affairs, leading to decisive change.”
“A dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person’s or people’s existence.”
The goal of The Crisis Project is to alter people’s perception of ‘the suburbs’, while both encouraging artists to use the public space as their canvass, and to create a sense of fear within the affected communities for those who don’t understand.
The Suburbs have the undeniable connotation of: “white picket fences, and safe community living for all.” Those who live here by choice do so to: either escape the negative aspects of city dwelling, or to move out of the country in search of a more connected lifestyle. Those who are born here, who grow up in ‘Suburbia’ don’t see their surroundings as an escape, but as a prison of town parks and strip malls.
Excluding illuminated store signs and the odd billboard, the suburbs are devoid of any visual stimulation, exactly what property owners want, and expect. But this existence, compounded with the many destructive aspects of the suburban youth lifestyle, only intensifies the angst against the powers that be, by starving creativity.
The Crisis Project is the initial attack on the habituated suburban lifestyle, which hopes to both bring together suburban youth to inspire art and creativity, and to initiate the waves of change against the clean walls, and municipal supremacy.
If you would like to participate, please either visit: www.crisisproject.com or email your mailing address to: crisisproject@hotmail.com and you will be mailed resources for you to help perpetuate the project.
Home time. Commuters at Wellington railway station. It's only the second week back after the Christmas break so many people have not gone back to work yet.

I'm going to a Fringe Festival performance this evening. I've bought tickets for about half a dozen shows and bought 'fringe addicts price' tickets. So this lunch time I went out to buy my fringe addict card. The booking office is in Cuba Street, quite a long walk from my office. But today they have a sales bike on the waterfront near Wagamama, just down the road from my office. They were giving out Fringe Festival brochures and were surprised when I walked straight up to them and asked to buy and addicts card.

Day332
Photographed some family photos for an old childhood friend today! It's so nice to see Rob and his wonderful family. It's funny how years have gone by and you still feel like you know each other.
