This weekend’s Photo Challenge on Weekly Prompts is, Not The Norm! And over the last few weeks, I’ve taken some rather odd photos, that are “Not The Norm” , of every day life here in Geelong…. Click >>Here, to visit ‘The Weekly Prompts’ fabulous site
A hail-storm at the Box Office Cafe yesterday, and Chris and his dog Lily, looking worried
At the Box Office Cafe again, the two photos are of the framed pictures hanging up in the toilets. The next photo is of some wall art, in the back patio area….All unusual, to say the least
Geelong’s CBD, has numerous works of street art, down the back lane-ways
Another piece of street. And then I was visiting the Valhalla Bar (Yes the same place I go to for one my poetry recital nights) for refreshments, and I took this photo…. apparently his name is Westie, and he has a hole in the front of the bucket to have a drink… very odd….
On the way home I needed a bite to eat, and wow ! a Philadelphia Cheesesteak in the main street of Geelong…. Now I’m home, trying on my new shirt from Kuala Lumpur, a gift handed to me Thursday, by my dear pen-friend from Malaysia, a beautiful shirt, certainly “Not The Norm”, to be chatting to her, cheek to cheek, and truly a lovely day, we spent together ………..
Oddly, I’ve not yet posted this Leonard Cohen, song and video clip…. enjoy……

Ha! Love your Odd-Not-The-Norm photos, Ivor! 😀 (Odd makes life more fun and normal can be boring! 😉 😛 )
I hope Chris and Lily are okay! They are both cute! 🙂
Great shirt! I give it two-thumbs-up and Coop gives it two-paws-up! 🙂
Hmm…wonder how those Cheesesteaks compare to the ones in Philadelphia!?
So glad you and your friend had such a lovely time! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
