Photos from last weekend

Last weekend I went down to Hamilton to combine seeing a friend with a birthday treat. We had lunch on the paddle boat Waipa Delta, then wandered round the beautiful Hamilton Gardens (see this page for a description of the different international gardens there). As I already took pictures last time, I was more restrained. All my photos (25 of them) are in this LJ gallery, but here's a selection.

( Stuffed Jeeves )

( The Mighty Waikato River )

( Roman pool )

( Indian gate )

( Japanese water garden )

( Gladiator cow! )

( Gladiator cow with legionary )

[Edit:] These cows are collector's items; check out Cow Parade (life-sized statues painted by local artists; they had a Cow Parade in Auckland a while back, which I saw). Mine is in there with a story about it. It's called Russell Cow!!! :-) I have decided however that mine is called Maxima.

To write the impossible fic

Everyone's been doing this meme while I was asleep or at work.

Name three fics you think I will never ever write, and I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

I may not be quick as I'm about to go to bed, then work, but I shall put my answers in a new post tomorrow evening.

[is a bit afraid]

[Edit] I was right to be. I'm off to work now but I'll have a go tonight.
