Hi Nan! And thanks for the compliment. :-)— May 11, 2010 7:09 p.m.
Bonus Blog: Skennerl and family
Thanks MsGrant. Thanks Fish! This was taken Mother's Day. I started the day off with "I want a photo of all of you - with me." This was the theme of the day. It carried through the morning as I repeatedly dragged them away from the x-box. It continued in the garden where I forced them to help me clean up leaves and weed. It remained with us at lunch when we went into the City for a cheap Hong Kong BBQ lunch, and then was the bribe I used to let them off the hook of going for a lovely stroll through the botanical gardens. So we were back home. It was photo shoot time. In true 60s style my partner insisted we stand facing the sun, so we squinted through one shot, before I dug my heels in and insisted on standing under the tree in the backyard. I removed the pegs basket from the clothesline, but didn't dare put the clothesline away for fear that I would give the boys an opportunity to escape. The pegs are rather symbolic for the occasion! FFS - do you know how many photos were taken? The 2nd eldest kept going on tiptoes to look taller than the older one. This caused major disruptions as the older one was not having it! Number 3 kept stirring up number 4, and number 4 kept wriggling. So I got a lot of photos! I trawled through and picked this one as my favourite. I like that they are not all looking at the camera in a 'posed' fashion. It tells a story. My eldest son has lost 24 kgs and is very proud of himself, my second son looks up to his older brother, my third son adores his little brother and vice versa. And I am very proud. Happy Mother's Day to all mums!!! PS - And I have a new ritual for my family - there will be a photo shoot every Mother's Day!!— May 11, 2010 1:19 p.m.
Ladies, please! You're in public!
Oh Fish - what a light weight piece that was!! But I totally 'get it'. I had magnificent D cups, but was too shy to have them photographed. Such a shame as I would like to show them the way they were to my children and also to look at them myself. Young flesh taken for granted. Now I keep them covered. They've dropped somewhat, but hey it is no longer uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach!!— February 10, 2010 7:18 a.m.

The Tragedy of the Chicken
I like your description "flush of hot dismay" - I know that feeling! Re your Dad, I wonder if any of my hot-headed decisions have affected my children!— January 15, 2010 10:55 a.m.

American Idol -- Vanilla Flavor
What are YOU writing about this stuff for fish? btw Austrlian Idol is rumoured to be canned this year...but just a rumour related to falling ratings. How many 'Idols' can you have? Always rememebr what Billy Connolly said about reality tv - why sit on your couch watching other people sit on their couch???— January 11, 2010 7:28 a.m.
