Petaling Street pt.6
With all the 'practical' things you can buy in Petaling Street, there's also a fair amount of nonsense. Like this strange thing in a bottle. I noticed it from a few feet away and was instantly drawn to it. At first I thought it was a traditional medicine kind of thing. As I approached, I saw little packets of animals and insects. You throw them in water and they expand. Aaahhh, something to keep kids occupied for a couple of minutes. Good if you have a mad scientist for a child. Then he can keep the bottles on his shelf and impress his Igor-like friends.
It's Sunday and the sky is clear for the first time in weeks. I'm going to laze in the garden today. A couple of magazines and an ice-cold cola will do the trick. Have a good day and I'll see you tomorrow.

Wish I could be with you! It's starting to get cold here. :(
You're right - when my son was 4 or 5 such things amused him for a few minutes at a time!
Hope you're having a great Sunday. The son is out chucking water bombs with the neighbourhood kids! I guss small things still amuse.
enfant j'ais aussi decoupe des grenouilles, mais j'aimais pas cela.

Greetings from Barcelona
*mental note* not to bring a kid near this shop! hmmm..i would love one though.
Enjoy the garden!
Very funny stuff ! I'd like to try :-)
Ah yeah, my kids got hold of one of those about a year ago - you're right, it kept them amused for about 2 and a half minutes!
Edwin, I suppose I should say something nice (but we're friends, right?!), but I find those creatures rather gross. Colours are interesting, tho!
Hope you had a relaxing day in the garden. I enjoy your pictures (even if this one was freaky).
Every fireplace mantle needs one of this. :-)
I'm glad you explained what it was - before I read the explanation I found it very disturbing!
Seeing this "thing", my first reaction has been: "Beurk!"Like Jenny, i was happy to know what it is...
I have been in my garden too, but with a lot of work to do: to prune apple tree and others plants like rose bushes, to collect dead leaves, to clean all my birds houses thinking to next spring...and to look all these things done. Ouf!
I like that. I'd watch them swell up and I'd share the fun with kids too, if they wanted to investigate the possbilities with me.
Happy Day, Edwin.
I had a great day guys despite the rain that came immediately after I posted the shot.
Hope you did too (a great day, that is!)
i have two plastic lizards hanging around the house. and i leave them beside the food when i have visitors. i love to see the expressions on their faces! hahaha...
I do have a mad scientist as a child! I want one!
