My little brother and my sister-in-law came over on the TG’s birthday – it was very nice to see them.
However there is always one drawback when they visit, and that is the presence of photographs – hundreds of them.
I explained I had a rare eye condition that was exacerbated by the chemicals in ordinary piccies and luckily the album was put away. My brother then produced some slides, but when I went to get the projector I fell down and smashed it – shame.
We had a lovely meal and then I made a fatal mistake – I decided to check my emails.
“Oh, of course, you’ve got a computer” and there he stood, offering me a memory stick.
Oh joy, thousands of photos and a whole load of video clips. I considered dropping lappytop but couldn’t bring myself to do it.
What were the pictures and videos? I have no idea. My internal defence mechanism kicked in and I went to a better place for a couple of hours. The TG doesn’t know either, as she had to have a little lie down as a birthday treat. (Most refreshing. Lo,TG Ed)

Next time try to wear dark sunglasses and scatter some braille books over and under the sofa.
I reckon I’ll declare the Cliff Top Residence a nudist colony and get him to leave everything in the porch …
Is that going to happen before or after I visit?
Just asking you know. It’s always nice to know how much to pack.
ROFL.
However… keep in mind (when planning this declaration date) that John also plans to visit and stay in your shed/guestroom.
Maybe he’ll bring that feather duster (and gimp mask) you promised to buy him over at the fraccy blog.
Might be quite fun to all hang out together ……
I suppose if the Cliff Top is to be a nudist colony, there will be a fair amount of ‘hanging out’ whether I or John visit or not.
:snicker:
Spookily, there is an official nudist beach just up the coast, about 1/2 a mile away …….
Ahh, so that’s why there was a rather large bill for binoculars and telephoto camera lenses on my desk last month.
Unfortunately, I sent it back claiming it was an error. You might want to hide them now… lest some chap in a dark suit and glasses show up wanting them back.
There should have been a bill for a mac as well …… can you have a root around? …… thanks
I did find a bill (receipt) for a Big Mac, but I don’t think that’s what you meant…
That must have been the Fanzine editor ……
maybe you could introduce him to blogging ???
We’d love to meet him!! *tee hee*
we could swap photo tips ….. recipes…..knitting patterns… the possibilities are endless
He hasn’t got time for blogging – he’s kept even busier by his goddess than I am.
[He sent me an email the other day I'm thinking of copying and pasting as a blog - I think he might be the inspiration for DP - tee hee]
I thought I was your inspiration? Sheesh. Next time you try sell me that line instead of a raise, I’m calling the union rep.
You’d better contact the rep by Monday …….. just sayin’ – tee hee
If he can handle DP, he’ll probably be ok with the lot of us sis. Don’t you think?
He’s my older brother …… obviously I behave when he’s around …….
Somehow, I think your definition of ‘behave’ and his are probably not the same…
….. or I might be sneaky of course …….
there may have been some naughty shots of your sister in law. but now you’ll never know…..
Now there’s a thought ……. mmmmmmmmmmm
I tend to subscribe to the “don’t want to see naughty shots of my in-laws” school of thought.
lol
From the 11th of May, there may be a photo storm over at mine, you have been warned (i’ll try and keep them mildly interesting though, you DO like goats I hope?)……………..
Goats, groats, oats and ‘ats all go down very well over here young GW …….
Is that ok? The mixing of goats and llamas I mean…
I reckon llamoats might be the new cockapoodle …….
Hmmm. How about goatmas?
What will Gertrude think?
He’s game …… BUT DON’T SHOOT HIM!!!!!!
Oh hi there DP/boss. I was just wondering if you had time to step into my office (well, really it’s just an old tv table set over by the water cooler…) and help go over some photos of the staff picnic from last year?
I hear you love doing that sort of thing.
*yawn*
*snore*
*twitch*
*coma*
I’m sure John can wake you with his feather duster.
*turns over*
*snore*
*giggle*
nice and good articles in here, im glad to be here for read in ur blog, i hope we can make a friends
Hello Harry – have you just joined Fuel My Blog?
Give him a taste of his own medicine…take pictures of Gertrude’s body parts and explain them to him in great detail. (Or your own body parts, maybe that’ll cure him of his photo exhibitionism.)
Good plan ……. but I really don’t think it would work ……. he’s unstoppable ……
