It's freezing!

Three Readers,
I know you're scattered far and wide, across the four corners of the globe ... and many of you have experienced more extreme weather conditions than me, who lives in the sub-tropics.

But, by crikey it's freezing today!

I can be admirably stoic. See, here I am being stoic on my first Communion ... my headband is slipping dangerously close to my nose, and I'm suffering through it.

But when it's a bit gusty and chilly, well ... the Poodle becomes somewhat agitated, despite his being deaf and almost blind, and it drives me nuts.

He insists on tip-tapping, up and down the wooden floorboards, back-and-forth, non-stop, back-and-forth.

All the while the back door needs to remain open because he races outside, in-and-out, and if his trajectory is blocked he whines his Poodle whine.

So, with that in the background, I thought I'd warm the cockles of my heart and show you some photos I came across this morning.

I was just reading some Law notes and they said, "Go and look in some drawers ..." so I did, and these are some of what I found.

Here is my mother looking young and happy, before she had five children.

Here is my mother, looking slightly older; still looking happy after she's had five children, but she had a glass of something in her hand which probably helped.

Here is my Dad. He's lying in bed with two animals and he's wearing dirty work shorts. That probably wouldn't have made my mother happy. I know I'd be ropable!

Here I am circa 1982, I've got a 'head full of music' and 'I'm wired for sound'!

I was holidaying in Hervey Bay ... it's like Hawaii because both destinations start with the letter 'H'.

Maintaining the 'H' theme ... here is the Husband when he was an itty-bitty. He looks cute.

The High Court is calling me to read its pronouncements ... away!
