Where’s my Dr Who Lego?

blog 1 Comment »

My 12 year old son and his friend spent much of last weekend mixing and matching all his lego minifigs to make his own Dr Who Lego.

Given that there was nothing manufactured specifically for what they were trying to make, I think they did a great job.

I’ve never been that interested in branded Lego, but if they ever did a merchandising deal with the Beeb over this, they would have a large amount of my money. And plenty of my childrens’ too.

Please excuse the poor photography. I rushed a bit, perhaps I can upload some new versions later.

Low tech pancreas transplant

I was doing an image search for a diabetes handout at work the other day when I came across this beauty.

The photographer has quite cleverly knitted a pancreas-shaped pouch to carry all of her diabetes paraphernalia around in. Clever because:

  1. Anyone who can knit is clever in my book
  2. The bits and pieces all together perform the function that the pancreas should be doing in the first place.
  3. It also shows a particularly good sense of humour. Like one commenter said: “You just have to use humour in life sometimes, don’t you??”

If you or anyone you know has diabetes you might be interested in visiting Diabetes WA or have a look around for your local diabetes support group.

Were they ever that young…?

asides, blog No Comments »

Last time my parents were down in Esperance, we were looking at some old school photos of mine and I came across these old photos from their courting days.

I must have borrowed them with the intention of getting copies made, so while I thought of it I scanned them and gave the originals back.

Enjoy this view of what teenagers looked like back in the sixties!

Careful, don’t look!

a mug shot - if you see this alt text instead of an image you aren't missing much

OK, you don’t really want to see this, but I am just playing around with the latest update to Picasa and uploading a profile photo to Blogger at the same time.

Move on to the next post, nothing to see here!
