It's been another hectic day today. With head office closed due to earthquakes and now flooding some bright spark decided that it would be a good idea to divert the help desk phones to random, staffed mobile numbers until Australia decided to get out of bed. "Snowed under" would be the appropriate phrase I believe. I may also have uttered the occasional unsavoury curse.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
I just love that you call them "grillers." Excellent baleful stare from your subject. Sorry about all the chaos, but I am glad that you and the family are OK.
@shylaine3304 Thank you very much :) @rosiekerr Thank you very much - it's those further south that I feel for...and what else are they if not grillers? ;) @tjsworld Thank you kindly - makes up for a rushed shot!!!
@pandorasecho Thank you very much - if I didn't laugh, I'd...probably do something else ;) @epcello Thank you very much :) @maggiemae Excellent - I'd hate to think of a good meal being stranded! @spanner Thank you very much - no more quakes here that I've felt, feeling very sorry for Wellington and further South though! @julzmaioro It's been like this all day... @taffy Just regular cows, but I like mine grilled (and there was movie about Jane Goodall and the apes called Gorillas in the Mist, so it seemed to fit...)
Those looks, I bet they are planning something. And it´s sometimes good to have a chance to go through the pics, been doing the same actually but the difference is that we don´t have earthquakes here, ever.
@susale They're definitely up to something...just as well they're food and not politicians ;) @alinz I know, I know...it's well over due @karlow75 Thank you very much - I'm away tomorrow for business for a couple of days and I'm tempted to leave the phone behind... @harbie Thank you very much :) @sarraphoto Thank you very much :) @sarasotab Thank you very much - my phone was afflicted far too often this often...
So many aftershocks still happening - up here south of Auckland we felt the big jolt, but not the aftershocks that you are all still feeling down your way. I love the title.
@swillinbillyflynn It's the phone that's truly irritating me... @jesperani Thank you very much :) @melston Me too...yum yum @shepherdmanswife They give their lives knowing that I will continue to increase my girth... @paul10 Thank you very much - I think she may be the ringleader @humphreyhippo Thank you very much - nothing but the best for any fashion conscious bovine @dide Thank you - I haven't felt any since yesterday, but today I'm heading further South on business... @yorkshirekiwi I've never eaten an alpaca... ;)
Oh well, after one of these girls tore my dog open like an apple (luckily enough, she has been sewn up by an excellent vet and she,s still with us) I have no mercy on them. Grillers is a very well deserved definition! And a great photo, but you know this already.
Hahaha, so funny, I love that cow, great composition, I can imagine her going forward, closer to you, and you stepping back and sliding in the cow dung.
@radiogirl There's no choice... ;) @overalvandaan They all came running over to the fence for a closer look - there ended up being about 20 of them all trying to eyeball me at the same time @domenicododaro Thank you very much - I've never entirely trusted them until they're on my plate... @hermann I hope not! :) @jack4john Thank you very much - I couldn't help myself
A1 play on words mate, love it. I have a friend who used to be an internal security office at the Aust Tax Office. Her mobile phone drove her mad until the day it fell out of her pocket into the toilet. Just a suggestion.
@golftragic I nearly threw mine out of the window yesterday...what's even more disturbing is that it's been suspiciously quiet today...and thank you very much (of course, because my mum raised me proper)
@rachelwithey Thank you very much :) @olenadole Thank you very much :) @yrhenwr If I was in west Wales I would be writing a strongly worded letter to the good people at TomTom...
So, I was trying to describe to someone how comical our banter about alleys was on the fiveplustwo post... and I was like, "Graeme is darkness, that's his thing..." And I clicked on your name and declared, "see!". At which point I realized these were nice cute cows not some sinister black photo... my friend was not impressed with my proof.
I do like this image though. :)
@ludgate Well, never let it be said that I'm predicitable - and if you think this is "cute" wait until todays shot...but don't panic, normal service will be resumed shortly. I've been travelling so much this month (and I'm not done yet) that it's been difficult to provide my "normal" shots...as for the title, I couldn't help myself :))
