The stupid intersection

I went to pick up Nicole from work.

As I waited outside in the car it started to rain really hard.

We had a bit of a panic at this intersection. I turned right, according to the red arrow and then encountered another red traffic light (red circle). As we were unsure whether or not to continue I stopped the car at the imaginary stop-line (blue) and waited for the red light to turn green.

Google Street view is showing no "no right turn" sign from where I turned. Also the dotted line guides you around the corner. Furthermore there were right-turn arrows in my turning lane where the arrow had a 90 degree angle. So my manoeuvre must've been legal.

I probably looked pretty stupid and stopping your car on a main road like that is actually an offence. Luckily there was no one behind me. :-/

We drove down to Henley for a bite.

The water was very high. Actually I had never seen it this high here. When we left it was dark and the water was actually washing against the promenade!

We went to Evida. It was nice and warm and we met an old friend of Nicole, Jenny.

The über salad.

I had the day off and after dropping off Nicole I went to the shops. Woolies first. I bought healthy shit!

This healthy shit was going to be turned in to a salad.

The end result: Mixed leaves, red onion, basil, parmesan, pine nuts and grilled chicken. Dressed with a sweet tomato-sweet chilli dressing.

Mason was in our garden, like every work day.

I think he gets bored out of his mind during the day.

Bit of a pity. It shows in his behaviour too I think.

You've got mail!

Pretty soon we won't have any lights left cuz they're dying one by one. Here my colleague Luke skilfully removes one of the lamps above his head.

Lunch. There was even someone lying in the grass even though if was very cold.

When I came home there was a parcel from Holland!

Amongst other things there was this nice card :-)

Uber soup

Lunch.

Party

I went to the post office around eleven in the morning thinking it would be nice and quiet. Instead it was a party!

I wish this was for real.

The pigeons were having a bit of a party during lunch.

Nicole made a fantastic soup. The recipe is secret :-P

We filled up the car.

And we drove to Hahndorf.

Tunnel vision.

The Princess highway is cut right through the hills. It's like it was cut out of the rocks with a knife.

In the evening I fixed the two broken axles in one of my locomotives. It's been broken for 5 years or so.

My day today

Breakfast at Scoozi's.

I did some research.

I tried another text editor because I am sick and tired of using Word 2007 on Windows Vista in my VM.
