Bazza's Office

I have just moved offices at work, I used to be in an office with 10 other people, now there's just 2 of us, it's a lot quieter. This is my desk.

The Four Stages of Life

1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

If any of our female visitors think this isn't relevant to them, that's probably a good thing.

Great truths about growing old

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

and did a spot of birdwatching.

We did a bit of swimming too.

Refreshed

We've been away for a few days. The trees are the view from our accomodation and the other photo was about 10 minutes walk away.

National Security

For reasons that I can't go into, there will be no posts on this blog until next weekend. Hush, hush, mum's the word, nod's as good as a wink etc.

Princess

Our little princess had her 6th birthday party at our house the other night, a house full of screaming 6 year olds, it was horrendous, but they all seemed to enjoy themselves. Also, have you noticed when you say smile to a child, they never quite manage it how you wanted it.

Great truths about life that adults have learned

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge . . .mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.

Great truths about life that little children have learned

1) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
2) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
3) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
4) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
5) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
6) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

Harry

Seeing as you all asked (well just Cindra actually) here's a picture of Harry from halloween. He did have a mask, but refused to wear it. If you click on the photo to blow it up you will see Harry's blood curdling red eyes, courtesy of Bazza not going on photoshop!

Alright sunshine

Quite a striking sunset round our end last night.

Witch

Katie dispels the myth that all witches are ugly old harridans.

It's that time of year again
