Lime flavoured aftermath

And so... I made a wish for lime flavour this morning. The aftermath of last night's flash flooding in Penrith continues.

Please add 20 minutes swimming time...

10.00pm: Route home blocked by a thigh-high lake at Penrith Railway Station. Please add 20 minutes swimming time to the length of your usual journey.



10.20pm: Alternate route blocked by massive, fallen pine tree. Please add 20 more minutes climbing time to your journey.



Footpath totally obscured by greenery for two house-lengths.



Still passing the fallen pine tree. Never realised that particular one was so tall. The air smells like Christmas.

Holy fine finny fiends, Batman!

Okay, I know they found a bullshark swimming in a flooded Brisbane street this week, but I found *this* in my garage yesterday! It took me a while to work out exactly what it was - but it's the interactive shark fin prop I made when Hoyts Cinema Centre in the Sydney CBD asked us to dress up and do a series of weekly "Rocky Horror Picture Show"-type events for the 60s' "Batman" movie revival in January 1987!

As Robin, I ran across the screen with this "fin on a stick" just before the famous "rubber shark scene". Ah, fame is so fleeting sometimes.
