As always, the pho­tob­log over on the right hand side­bar proves itself a rich source of short-term dis­trac­tion. This morn­ing it was dis­play­ing this photo, from where I went on a little voy­age of ‘phubble’ dis­cov­ery, which even­tu­ally led me to this bril­liant image of a phubble at the Basin Reserve…

The worlds largest soap bubble blown by 10 year old Mary Smith of Wel­ling­ton who can just be seen at the bot­tom behind the bubble. It took her 7 hours and 38 minutes to get it to this size before a passing seagull flew through it and burst it. Mary was treated for Hyp­ox­ia and giv­en a lolly.

Bril­liant.
