my hubby's favourite superhero, BULLSHIT MAN.

much as I loathe Gervais, I do love Pilkington.

bits from season two.  who doesn't love this show - silly and stagey as it sometimes can be, Karl lifts it out of the ordinnaire :D

versatility #1

versatility #2m and my favourite

the versatility of the pines

location shot

this is where we were on sunday, though clearly I didn't take this pic!  on that, it's a bit of a stretch to call this "severe weather", when it's quite usual in winter.  oddballs, these stormchasers :p

anyhoo, whilst wandering about in the snowy pines, kid#1 and I launched into a hokey rendition of the old bluegrass standard, "in the pines", at the top of available lungs. funness :D

X Factor

historical hornbags, revisited.

was chinwagging with the ladypeeps the other day, and we had a bit of a brainstorm on the topic of yesteryear spunks.  came up with a number of contenders.  not easy, neither, as any tally is going to be limited by lack of photographic evidence. one is forced to consider just the last 100 years or thereabouts.  anyway, to cut what was a 1.5hr brainstorm down to it's pointy end, the 'winner' was universally agreed upon.  he meets all the yewshall criteria (he was indeed, a VERY handsome man), plus gained bonus points for mystery, violent death at a young age (relatively speaking), deification, and high order posturing in OTT uniforms.  no brainer who it is, but will forthwith blog a truckload of pics anyway :D

the sky is falling

as per yewshall I'm down to my last bit of week and squeezing in a bit of bloggery.  no newsy news up our end - working lots and watching australians participate in some sports thingy (apparently other countries are involved but we haven't seen any).  red letter day today, though - as follows:

snowed ten minutes up the road last night. melted now, a'course, but fact remains.  20 minutes further up, it's blanket coverage. I gather similar conditions are blessing the entire east coast at the minute. mexican relations tell me it's blizzardy and nippier than a nun's undies, and report from pals on the piste is non-stop powder falling - horizontally!

anyway, kids'll be met this afternoon with parkas/beanies/gloves for some after school snowbloke buildage and general carousing in the white stuff.  we should get an hour or so in before we lose the light.  home to a glass of rouge ordinnaire and a toasty fire .... ahhhh, bliss!

catch yooz next week.  hopefully with all ten toes intact.  -2 mornings here, and top temp in the hills of 5. balmy :)

Hi Hampastie!!!!!

...oi laydeez,
was contacted by an old foruming pal today, from way way back on Unofficial (pre our ten forward thread- once upon a time that site was rocking). She was wondering where the Unofficial site had got to. I'vetold her the spammy story and subsequent bellyup and pointed her in our direction here & I'm trying to coax her to post....hello Hammie...phone home, phone home.....

holas
