(*) Dad's scrapbooks
When my brother drove out the other day, he bought with him a big pile of dad's old scrapbooks - and a few old photos. Here's two of dad's old sailing boats, 'Wyreema' - from 1970 and 1980 - in this second pic, I'm the one wearing the yellow!
First thing each morning, as soon as you step outside here - PHEW! The stink all over town is pretty darn RIPE! Apparently, a local sausage-casing factory on the south-side of town has had its waste plant conk out, and the back-up has even affected the local 'poo farm' (as my kids used to call the sewerage works!). So, before there's a breeze to blow the smell away - phew! Ahh, there's nothing quite like the stench of fresh sewerage everywhere you go! Thankfully now they've got a handle on it, and it's no more! But, for a few days' there, the whole town was hanging for the first hint of a breeze to blow it all away! Whew! Ahh, the joys of technology!
I've had to re-do all the Polls for this thing... the norty thing deleted them all without even asking me first - how rude!
Weebl & bob have updated - check it out!

Nice snaps Mal. reminded me of summers when I was a kid. Out on the lake in my dad's boat, not a sailboat, but we had some fun. We'd spend all day out there, the whole family, Mom, dad, my sister, brother and me.
Sorry about the stench problem, shall I sent you a gas mask? he he hope your not down wind.
Weebl & bob - that's just sick and wrong and funny as hell!
Take care!
Vicky
