It had to happen eventually

It had to happen eventually, a flag pole that is. Well to be completely honest its a piece of bamboo with a loop of rope attached. flags. The picture does not really do it justice.  No idea what the correct etiquette is for flags so until someone complains.....

Hong Kong countryside

One of Lantau Island's hidden gems.  The picture does not do it justice.  Crystal clear rock pools and pristine countrysideand all just a few miles from one of the busiest and crowded places on earth.

Changeable Lizard

This fellow was displaying / sunning in the vegetable plot outside the house.   I know its a bloke as he is turning his head and neck orange coloured. About a foot long from head to tail in all.   When we first spotted him his head and neck was bright orange colour but as I got closer to take the pictures it slowly began to fade and lighten, presumably an attempt to make himself less conspicuous.

DIY

Its got to be said that I am absolutely useless at DIY. 
Q.  How long does it take to put up four venetian blinds? 
A. Not sure as so far today I have only managed to put up three.
