Demolition Dee
Posted on | January 27, 2013 | 16 Comments | Previous Post Next Post
It was the week before Giftmas, and Hylas and I were driving around Auckland in the sticking hot humidity, trying to find me a bathtub. I’d let my fingers do the walking already, so we were at least driving to places we knew had bathtubs. What we didn’t know was the condition they were in and the price.
The first demolition yard we came to was an enormous, stuffed-to-the-gills, warehouse. The fellow who owned it ignored us totally – he continued to sit in his little office, although he was well aware we’d come in. So we wandered around, picking our way over and around things (I was regretting wearing jandals for that, although not for the heat). The bathtubs we found pretty quickly – the prices were appallingly high for the condition they were in. Still, I was curious to see what else was in there, so we wandered further.
What do you know – an aisle of enormous window frames! I couldn’t resist, and can you blame me?
I got a little more daring after that:
That was the only thing we took away from there, though. The guy only deigned to emerge from his hidey-hole when we had questions for him – and boy was he a grumpy-pants!
We ended up driving to the other side of Auckland, to a demolition place that wasn’t even on my original list. But I found an awesome tub – and it was well worth the outing

What lovely painted toenails I have. Hylas does a great job on them for me.

Sometimes the perfect opportunity just presents itself and it would be such a shame to turn it down that you just HAVE to act. At least that is what often happens here… and seems like with you too

Going out on adventures with you seems like so much fun Dee, and your creative mind always spotting those perfect naughty moments for a quick snapshot!

You do have gorgeous toenails. I mean, once I stop staring at your breasts and your smile!

The guy dared to be a grumpy-pants? With you looking so lovely? Well, pffft to him. You look so divine in that sea-blue dress (or out of it, or both!) <3

Kathy – Ah, but you’ve already seen me in it! I linked to two of the posts in the entry
Rebel – There’s definitely an advantage to having a giant handbag and keeping my camera in it at all times…
Kazi – It just seemed the perfect place, y’know?
Molly – Definitely the case!
MrsJoJo – Well, everyone’s different. But if I happen to inspire…
Emma – Thank you!
Bunny – Well that’s what I think
Ann – If I don’t spot them, Hylas does – he’s quite the enabler!
Evoe – They are (all) very well taken care of. That definitely helps. *grin*
Carol Anne – Would you believe that’s a dress from Avon? They do have some lovely stuff, and that’s one of my favourite summer frocks.

Emily – I must admit, I wish I had an excuse to get some
Penny – *blushes* You say the loveliest things!
Carol Anne – They are indeed. Granted, there’s only one of their perfumes I’ll go near (Passion Dance, now discontinued) but they still do a roaring trade.
Mia – It’s a summer favourite!
