This is quite possibly the most depressing sign I've seen so far this year..I mean really!! It could be because my 'chirpy' level is a tad low, it was 38C in the city yesterday, with the humidity level so high it actually took the form of rain haha! It was seriously weird, the sky was grey, drops of moisture fell, but there was not an umbrella to be seen. On the plus side any TinTin fans will find a great selection in
Elizabeth's Bookshop a 'quirky' bookshop in the city, can you see the 'floating' book to the right side of the shot, if he had been more attractive I would have included him, y'see just plain grumpy! T
he new Water Labyrinth in Forrest Place (brilliant feature) was a joy for children in the city, I think I can see two mums standing in there chatting also, nice one! Tomorrow I'm definitely going to be more cheerful.. peut-être! Have a good Tuesday, take care and stay safe..p.s. I should have mentioned that my Meerkat poser from yesterday was taken at the Perth zoo a while back in winter....
Nice shot though Grace, It reminded me of a recent visit to Tin Tin's museum in Brussels...
ReplyDeleteLove that shot Grace...... pffff...that very hot there.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Oh my Grace, 38C with high humidity is a lethal combination! Do your best to stay cool! Those kids (and the moms) have the right idea.
ReplyDeleteWith temps like that a fountain like that would definitely be the place I'd want to be!! Being originally from Texas and lots of HEAT is one of the main reasons I moved to the northwest!! Do take care, stay cool -- go sit in the fountain if nothing else!!
ReplyDeleteYou should kick back and enjoy one of those cool pink drinks you posted recently. Lift your spirits right away!
ReplyDeleteAck, I can't believe that sign either! Christmas commercialization is like nothing else! I love the look of that bookshop though:)...and that cool fountain, beautiful both! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteNow it's your turn to be grumpy about it all ... I am wondering if I will ever sleep in a normal way again - it's 2am now and still so urky and muggy and then a charming 40 degrees today (Tues) ... oh well just hope there's something left of my garden!
ReplyDeleteStay cool ...
Tintin is everywhere!!!
ReplyDeleteConsidering....I think you are doing pretty well. I smiled and enjoyed your post. Our relatives living Melbourne way are talking the same 'speak'. Cooler weather is coming and hopefully no fires!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis man has probably slept through Christmas, and is waiting for the next gifts... haha...
ReplyDeleteStay cool, Grace!
Les aventures de Tintin en Australie ?? :-) Groan, I've had enough of Christmas. I love it in December and then after Epiphany I want snowdrops and hyacinths!! Super shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat sign. The message must be from a person with a good sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteSecond hand bookshops are far and few between in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteA bit to early to think about Christmas but I love the fountains.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
I can imagine how good that water feels!
ReplyDeletethanks of posting this, i was a tintin fan when i was a young lad and have read all those on that shelf. those book covers brought back wonderful memories :-)
ReplyDeleteI saw on the BBC just now that you have 40C at the moment. A bit on the warm side. Funny sign!
ReplyDeleteGreat weather! Love the fountains.
ReplyDeleteThe fountain looks inviting, non? As for the humidity so high it was rain... a good laugh to kickstart my Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteGreat detail the hand. Oh to be a child in Perth nowadays ... rain/snow said for tomorrow over here. Please have a good Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteNice fountain although I could skip the sign:)
ReplyDeleteI love my visits to perfect Perth!
ReplyDeleteAloha

This fountain is hugely popular with the kids of Perth. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite type of fountain for play and fun. It works well for a photographer also (whether shooting or frolicking in the water)!
ReplyDeleteA belated bonne année to you and your family, ma chère amie!

Looks like a nice bookstore.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should have joined them in the Water Labyrinth! Tintin can remove my grumpiness any day.
ReplyDeleteJust as well I wasn't in the city or I would have rubbed the sign off the chalkboard, just joking. By the way, I just ventured outside from my airconditioning and the Freo Doctor is IN,
ReplyDeleteMon Dieu! We have only just celebrated Christmas 2012. Stay cool Grace.
ReplyDeleteI am with you, Grace - I haven't even gotten this year's tree down yet! Hoping to do that today - but I definitely don't even want to think about the next Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer hot to cold weather. I can usually find a way to cool down but when I'm cold, it's more difficult to get warm.
ReplyDeleteBut the humidity makes it worse! You could, of course, put your camera down and run out into the water! :-)
Who's Tin Tin?
Oh, I meant to mention, that I agree about that being the most depressing sign ever!
ReplyDeletewow Tin Tin from Belgium to Australia, how cool! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that fountain and the picture is more wonderful with the kids playing around it! Awesome shot!
Léia
Please, don't mention Christmas so soon! LOL! Lovely pic of the children at the fountain.
ReplyDelete357 days already....
ReplyDeleteTin Tin ... until i was in Brussels in 1999 i had forgotten all about Tin Tin ... the movie, if you've not seen it, was wonderful .. of course i am partial to 'cartoons' .. er ... animation ...
ReplyDeleteAnd another thing, why are they selling 'hands' in that bookshop? Is it because they are 'seconds?'
ReplyDeleteHi Grace! Re your question: Nope. But not wanting to remain ignorant, I checked Tintin out. Comic book character. I don't read comic books anymore. :-))
ReplyDeleteThe fountain looks very nice for the hot weather you are suffering from. The bushfires looked so scary on television here this morning. I hope you keep safe there.
ReplyDeleteThe fountain looks essential! I've heard about the fires down under...
ReplyDeleteThere's a Christmas shop in my parent's former home town. I'm sure they've got the same sort of "this many days til" on the sign in their front window...
