Some handy mantras I scribbled down while shopping ...

"One day a man said he wanted to be a crazy bastard but the psychiatrist told him he could live in the bottom of the forest."

"One day a man wanted to believe in his brimsy & so he started brimming with brimsy. One day a man started thinking about his only brimsy & then another man started believing in his own chimney."

"What is your WIDDLY-WODDLY-WIDDLY."

"Human organisms & ALL those human mornings. Where are the human organisms of the morning. Lovely little organisms. Could we have our local mornings."

Some interesting emails & e-cards ... e.g. click

"I wanted to get some money from the other dollar."

"Let's listen to a story about a man named Fred ... poor mountain man barely kept his family weird ... then one day he was looking at his bed ... and before he knew it he was over there ..."

Well, they always say cricket is a funny game but this turn-around defies all (previous) comparisons? ... click :)

Oh yes, took the new camera on its first serious bushwalk ... mixed results ... looks like I may need to fiddle round with some of the settings for best results? Did get a couple of nice shots of the gorgeous crimson rosellas near Sassafras ... and a pair of Kookaburras that would have been mere specks on my old camera which had no zoom {or other settings for that matter} ...

Remind me to upload a few of the shots to one of my sites ... plus the footage from the bus going through Sherbrooke forest ...

Funny greeting card about when God made man she had a tiny bit left over & decided to put it in an inconspicuous place and it only works occasionally ... let's call it his brain ... :)
