rural sword

we saw this sword in a ditch at the edge of a field.  i wonder if it’s medieval and has been washed up by the recent floods ?

valetine row

a valentine row occurs when two people in a relationship receive more than one valentine card each (assumed to be from the other).  any more than one and there’s likely to be some questions

esther passed her grade 2 violin exam a while ago with merit.  she finally got her detailed report which reminded me to tell you.  so there you go.

kezia won the prize for best disco dancer at her school disco last night. funky dancing is a family tradition, so i’m very proud of her too !

this yellow bag was illuminated by the sun which amazingly wasn’t lighting anything else.

it took me quite a bit of effort to expose the photo correctly, and all these photos are pretty much straight out of the camera

as i stood for a couple of minutes photoing the bag and the pub behind it someone came out of the pub and got something out of the bag

that’s all i had to tell you about the bag.

low trees

trees generally grow out of the ground, so the concept of low trees shouldn’t be such a rare thing

jane and i went out for a wedding anniversary meal yesterday and it was jolly good.  it was a bit presumptuous as it’s not our wedding anniversary for a few days, but i recon we can make it !
