Argh, we're on dial up internet for the next two days until the new billing month ticks over- so annoying! Uploading even these low res images took foreverrr. Walking home today I stopped to photograph the artwork currently displayed in the lightboxes on Courtenay Place, which you can read more about here. I love the concept, I love the responses the artist received but I hate the spelling! Mate, it's Courtenay Place! I'm sure he's a lovely dude and I appreciate his efforts, but this is a little bit bewildering. Artistic license my eye.

Regional Dialect Meme- NZ Accent
Please see above for my contribution to the regional dialect meme that is saturating the blogosphere at present! I've watched a lot of them over the past week or so, and my two favourites are this one by Kaelah at Little Chief Honeybee, and another by Lauren on her blog called Please Note- they both have adorable accents! I really hate my voice and my accent, so excuse me for cringing a lot during this video... Below is the list of words and the questions- please link me to your video if decide to make one, or already have made one!

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Orange, Coffee, Direction, Naturally, Aluminium, Herbs
Questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
