katiefoolery: (My country)

I wish my camera phone took better pictures.  Actually, what I really wish is that I hadn't forgotten to take my camera with me to Beechworth, but I'm over that.  I've moved onto the camera-phone-hate.

Nevertheless, it was all I had and I used it when necessary although I now have cause to curse its complete inability to focus on anything, anything at all and its general crapitude.

With this bitter disclaimer out of the way, I hereby present for your viewing pleasure, the following images...

Oh, this cat has a hard life.  How tedious, to be forced to spend all day napping in the sun and occasionally being woken up in order to be fed.  No wonder she always looks so damn smug.  Notice the sun.  There was a lot of that.  I approved.

Canola is a big crop in the north east.  It grows heartily even in the midst of the severe lack of rain and it looks incredibly impressive.  Fields of yellow, stretching out to the horizon...

Well, this is a cute little house.  It seemed to require me to take a photo of it, so I did.  Who am I to argue with cute little houses?

Grammar rage!  Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghghghghghgh!  I saw the same ad on TV, too, with the same lack of spelling.  Are things really this bad?  Are people now unaware that the plural of any word ending in "y" should be "ies"?

See, I told you it's a hard life for Buffy.  She really knows how to look relaxed, does that cat.


And that was my trip to Beechworth.

*sigh* ... at the ABS induction session there were a lot of misplaced apostrophes, so I completely sympathise. How the literacy level in this nation has sunk so low I cannot understand.

Canola is a wonderful plant; in fact, if we were to use it as a fuel, it would be so much CHEAPER and LESS POLLUTING. Okay, so it only works in diesel engines, but I'm sure someone could find a way around that!

Life seems so much simpler in regional Victoria ... *sigh*

Hi there, AF! It's nice to see you around on LJ. :)

It'd be great if we could all make use of a cheaper, less-pollutant fuel but I guess that's not going to happen until the government can work a way to make a great deal of money on it. Not that I'm cynical or anything...

I suppose it is a little simpler out there but it'd a bit more fun if there was some more water going around. It's so dry and it just keeps getting dryer.
