double lock

this isn’t really a padlock, but i’ve put it in the category anyway. it is a double fence lock, openable in either direction from either side. good stuff.

walked over 4,100 kms, (40km-ish of which was during the london marathon [and you helped me raise 1,838.68 pounds]), was featured in dogs today magazine, had over 380 thousand unique visitors to the blog causing 545G of traffic over 2.8 million pages served, was featured on radio, had a site upgrade and redesign, averaged over 1700 visitors per day, went curling with olympic gold winners, visited norfolk, the lake district, austria and belgium, posted a pile of photos every day (there’s now over 10,000 photos on funkypancake, and as many spelling mistakes), and lots of other stuff besides.
i hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as i have !

kezia the photographer

jane called me in to kezia’s room to look at what she was doing
http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff3/2005/12/DSC07954-thumb.jpg
she has her pretend camera on my tiny tripod and has set up a shoot with her doll (which she’s put on some books so she’s the right height). i was so proud !

tony teaches a lady how not to be frightened of technology

here is tony teaching liz how to use a little computer game. he was telling her in a very simple way as we all know how silly girls go when they try to deal with technology.

actually, that’s not what’s happening here, and tony has only the utmost respect for ladies of all genders.
