Would you give this werewolf to your 3 year old?

Found this werewolf in a toy store. The packaging says for ages 3-8 years, but really, do you think this is the sort of thing you would give to a 3 year old?

Yes, the 3-8 years labelling is probably about safety guidelines for the product. I still think it is marketed at the wrong age bracket.

Can’t go outside mum, the neighbours look angry

Look mum, I know I promised to go outside today and do some planting…
…but the neighbours look a bit angry.
And I really don’t want them to blow up at me!

Experienced 101 Ukuleles @White Rabbit Gallery

Well, I don’t know if there were actually 101 Ukuleles at White Rabbit Gallery this evening. But it was quite an interesting musical experience. When I arrived a queue had formed out the front of the gallery, although it moved along quite fast, and we were inside in no time.

Preliminary results of testing…

And the preliminary results of my testing are in. It appears that Akismet, Efficient Related Posts and Twitter Tools are the trifecta.

Having just these three plugins enabled causes the blog to stall on post. Well it posts, but it displays a ‘page not found’ error rather than a ‘your post has been posted’ message.

But it doesn’t always happen.

So, I am going to have to some more testing, at a later stage. Enough testing for this New Years Eve.

Christmas Eve, all spoons are banned, no stirring!

As the poem says:

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

So put those spoons away people.

Where do they get the extra cheese from? (photo)

Packets of Bega cheese display an extra 25% offer at the moment. I suppose the extra 25% must come from somewhere. And some packs seem to be be shorted as a result.

Extra Cheese, but from where?

Remember not to use the display toilets in IKEA! (photo)

It is funny to find signs telling you not to use the display toilets in IKEA. I wonder how many people would use the toilets in a public place if not signposted?

Danger Cow (photo)

Is it a job for danger cow?
Or just someone else’s job to fix it?

It is a pity when children’s playgrounds fall into disrepair, and they just get danger tape put on them. I wonder if children understand to avoid taped rides?
