Week 2 Confounding Confectionery

Was half way to York on Saturday when I realized that I had left the camer at home. Just as well not much happenned, but I could have got a really good photo of a ghost town that day. Trying to make it a habit to keep the camera in the harp case now.

Motorcycle groups are pretty commonplace going through Bakers Hill, but Sunday was the biggest I'd seen. I counted 40 Bikes, all Harley Davidson. Here's some of them:
 
                                                                                                 


And here's some more:

                                                                                                  

And off they went!
 
On monday I ran into a couple of people that were working for a Bauxite company. From what they tell me, there is Bauxite pretty much throughout the district, well everywhere except Goomalling that is. One of them offered me some confectionery "Fags" only now they are called "Fads".

                                                                                                 

Other design differences are that they no longer have the pink tips, and the creature on the packet is sporting two out of his mouth rather than the one cigarette like image.

Well I hadn't seen any of these since I was in primary school and was surprised to find that they were still making them. I would say that they have kept the original recipe though because they still taste dreadful. I wouldn't have had them at all but it was a pretty girl offering (see photo above - behold her pretty hands) and I've always made it a practice to do whatever pretty girls tell me to do.

Not that that has ever done me much good.

Nevertheless the sugar hit was very handy and managed to get me through the rest of the session.
