Boxing Day Madness

I dragged Alex out for a round of the shops on Boxing day. Not that I wanted to buy anything - just feel the sweeping madness of Times Square on a busy day.

This is the "Toys'Я'Us" (yes, the backwards 'R' annoys me as well) flagship store. Four levels of toys with a massive ferris wheel in an atrium.

Cool robotic T-Rex that was pretty damn convincing - in a rubbery, jerky way.

Buy! Buy! Buy!












This Barbie Learns to Cook Doll was a jem.

Her thought bubble says:
 "Ken loves my famous casserole"



I very nearly bought it.

Nearly.





Bang in the centre of Times Square, jutting out of the ground like a portal to another dimension, is this U.S. Armed forces recruiting centre.

I laugh whenever I see it...then I remember it is deadly serious - not an ironic art installation.









OK, so Alex captured a falcon on film. Well I was lucky enough to find one of these growing wild.

Not sure if it is truly wild or just gone feral.


Hope you all had a lovely Xmas & Boxing day,
Love Rach
