It seems all he needed was a little photoshop massaging from Michelle to cheer him up. I reckon a party hat would get him grinning..

In lieu of actual words, since they don't seem to be forming themselves particularly well (case in point: I actually spelt 'themselves' with a 3 the first time..), I'll be putting up random piccies for your viewing pleasure. Endure with me till I figure out how to drive this camera.

I'm suffering from severe bloggers' block at the moment so haven't been around here much lately. And won't be posting for a bit.

Don't know quite what's wrong.

2005 just aint sitting right.. Needs some wearing in.

Apologies to all those who I owe email and/or letters, I'm not avoiding you I just don't have the words at the moment.

I'll be back in a while, when I get my blog feng shui together.

hai!

I have a ninja minion at last!

Mwhahahaha!

He can do swift and deadly things in Morse code too.

hillbilly musical madness

Best band name ever.

Hank Plank & the 2 x 4s.

And the hats! I want one!

I have no idea what they sound like but I'd buy a t-shirt just for the name.

Although I have a suspicion they're a country band. Well, with song names like 'I Wish I Was In Prison', 'Don't Mock Me (Just Because I'm an Idiot)', and the mournful 'Lost My Beer' they could hardly be anything else.

Ain't he a cutie! His eyes are a bit red but that's understandable after a hard New Year's Eve's drinkin'..
