ok, that was weak

I’ve been doing a “Christmassy Picture A Day” thing for advent, over on The Social Medias.
Daily posts to WordPress are a bit annoying, so here’s a digest version – I’ll update it as new images happen.

I couldn’t decide for the 4th of December, so there’s two.

Two pictures today, partially because I couldn’t decide, and partially because it’s super cold out there.

I feel that this one deserves some ‘splaining.
This is a box of misc. NZ sugary crap, sent by a friend in NZ in exchange for some tea & some Yorkie Bars.

I’m stashing it in my desk until the team, or at least the ‘local’ team, are all on deck, so that they can try strange New Zealand lump-based¹ cuisine.

¹ Someone commented that there are pineapple lumps, and jaffa lumps, and that NZ confectionery seems to have a lot of lumps in it, which led me, through Entirely Reasonable Steps, to come up with the phrase “lump-based cuisine”.

These aren’t enormous plushie reindeer; They’re inflatable, and the pumps look to be linked to the lighting, so if you get there early enough they’re hanging like limp reindeer husks.

It’s kind of creepy, but not as creepy as watching them inflate.

The subject of today’s Christmassy Image is named Sammy, and enjoys tennis balls and not being easy to photograph.

Took me a while to decide on the very last Christmassy Picture for my advent-esque series.

Tried setting up a few shots, but nothing quite seemed to work, so I took a walk to a Christmas Market in Leicester Square, and along the way, took this picture.
