Your Today in Pictures...

[Graham Ritchie]

Well I don't have a photo but thought I would share this with you. Today down at the park it was pretty quiet, but had the Westar threaded for at least one run through, as the week has been cold and wet and as you know projectors don't like not being used. Anyway a young couple came up to me with a small baby exercising his lungs as baby's do They asked can we watch some film, I said absolutely, so they sat down with baby still going to town . I said if its a bit loud for the wee one, I can turn it down?, his mum said he likes loud

So away we went and for the full 20 minutes the baby was completely silent, I wasn't expecting that, afterwards the couple thanked me, and I commented how quiet there wee one was, as his mum adjusted his little wooly hat, so there you have it folks, the magic of the movies

(Theres some thousand to one ratio in there, if I remember right!)

I like your conclusion that movies are magic! It may not have been the movie you showed, but the sound of the running projector.

5 Hours of Soothing Sounds of a Running Motor| Calming ASMR

5 hours of soothing ASMR of a running motor sounds while riding on the open road. Relax while listening to the soft soothing sounds of the soft continuous rumbling to fill the silence. Use white noise for concentration, sleep, meditation, and/or have something in the background as you complete your everyday tasks. You can listen for the sounds of a wheel spinning to ease your stressful day, or elevate your mood. ASMR and white noises are really nice for concentration, studying, sleep, and meditation.

The sound of a running movie projector works. Be advised that the sound of a running video projector has the opposite effect; it is annoying as hell.

Arriving at the Heritage park today I have to make sure I take some bread with me, as every time I drive in the wildlife heads for the car before I have even stopped the car is surrounded here are a picture of my friends, I have to be careful though with the Pukeko in particular as they are quite stupid, they run in front of the car when its in motion, I do talk to them..... its an age thing

I have called the below duck "Gertrude" it stands at my feet getting first go at the bread Although we are into winter at the moment, still plenty to tourists from other countries, such as France Japan and China at the moment. So folks if you like a skiing holiday, the South Island here really is the place to be, heaps of good snow up in those mountains at the moment.School holidays start next week for a couple of weeks, this country always seems to be on holiday

Gertrude has trained you well. Is she related to the other famous Gertrude?

[Graham Ritchie]

Yes

This morning one of our neighbours chicken escaped into our garden. I was able to catch it and pick it up, but to tell the truth it looks like it has escaped from Disney's Enchanted tiki room.
