Don't you just love obnoxious bus drivers? This particular Obnoxious Driver was of a strange brand. You know some are obnoxious because they're mean and angry, some becasue they're annoying in that cheerful way--Well, this one was both at once. I can't explain it any better than that. o.o
Also, I saw the coolest snail crawling up the retaining wall by the beach at Lyall Bay. Maybe this is because there were no large snails where I grew up, but I've been fascinated by the things ever since I first started seeing them in AU. They're awesome! They're cute in a disturbing "I use my slime to commute and I have no skeleton" way. The one climbing the retaining wall was a little short of two inches long when it stretched out and it had a pretty shell.
Of course I had to take a picture of it, and then when it oozed onto the top of the wall I had to take two more pictures. For the second pic I had my phone sitting on the wall, and the side of my face also sitting on the wall so I could see what I was doing. Some dude rode past on a bike and I think he chuckled at the spectacle.
My favourite Loch Ness monster theory is the one that it's a gigantic aquatic slug or snail. That would rule.
Also, there was one of those
kitesurfing people. A little cold and rainy, but definitely windy enough. That's another thing I first saw in Australia that caught my attention. I want to learn how to do that! Looks like it's popular in Hawai'i. Hmm.
I got more warm weather clothes at Vinnie's and Salvo's and The Warehouse. X) Starting to jettison cool weather clothes.
