F.P.F.o.S is the brainchild of Julie... apparently julie is a pretzel eating hedonist *doh*
I have chosen these photos this week especially for Julie.. I have included some sky-shots because we share an obsession with the sky..I have also chosen some photos of the
Too much info.. ok. *sigh* 2008-03-07 03:07:00 Here is a dark sky shot that I took on Wednesday, I think that this shot mirrors my mood today..
I heard on the news today that the the 'Ruddy Government' as part of its cost cutting anti inflation measures, is going to abolish the annual carer payment bonus...
I heard this on the radio as I was driving to TAFE today. My first thought was 'typical'..
My next thought was Oh Fuck! That's Us!
The new house, a partial update. 2008-03-03 22:42:00 Veronica, Nathan and Miss Amy have settled in very nicely at their new home. Amy has been sleeping quite well in her new bedroom. So I am crossing my fingers that it keeps up.
The new house is on tank water, which means that all the water into the house comes from an above-ground rain water tank. To get the water into the house you need an electric pump. (this is a picture of ours)These pumps
Blitzen Wooo farkin Hoooo!!!!!! 2008-03-03 04:10:00 You Are Blitzen
Always in good spirits, you're the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa.
Why You're Naughty: You're always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying!
Why You're Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini.

Well, Fancy That! 2008-02-29 03:20:00 You're A Prayer for Owen Meany!
by John Irving
Despite humble and perhaps literally small beginnings, you inspire
faith in almost everyone you know. You are an agent of higher powers, and you manifest
this fact in mysterious and loud ways. A sense of destiny pervades your every waking
moment, and you prepare with great detail for destiny fulfilled. When you speak, IT
SOUNDS LIKE THIS!

Awards ... part two.. 2008-02-27 16:27:00 I have been given quite a lot of awards in the past few weeks. Each time someone gives me a lovely piece of "bloggy bling" I think ,"Yay and Excellent and Woo Hoo!!!!" I have to think these excited thoughts because if I high-fived the air next to my computer and Yelled them out, I would set the dog off into a fit of loud barking, which would remind the spouse that I was "still on that bloody Read more:Awards
Cupcakes, well fancy that!!! 2008-02-26 16:49:00 Obviously there are a few things that I need to work on to enable my quest for world domination to succeed.
But as the founding member of the "Apathetic as all Buggery" club. I really can't be bothered.
There is also the fact that I tend to get distracted very easily and once cup-cakes were mentioned that really was the end of what small ambition I possessed.. *sigh*
So to all the other
Hmmph..I wanted to rule the world... but apparently...... 2008-02-25 16:56:00 You Are Not Destined to Rule the World
You are destined for something else...
Like inventing a new type of cupcake.
You just don't have the stomach for brutality.

Awards... part one.. 2008-02-24 15:37:00 It is time to pass along some of the awards that I have recently been given. I have some more lovely bits of blingery lurking within the depths of my computer.... But I have trouble formatting my page when I upload too much stuff and it ends up looking remarkably similar to something the cat dragged in.. *sigh* So without further ado lets get on to the good stuff..

I went looking for snakes today.... 2008-02-18 03:42:00 I went looking for snakes today. I wanted to take a couple of photos but it was a bit hot and I couldn't be bothered walking down the hill. A large black tiger snake likes to bask in the sun atop a pile of rocks, halfway down the hill.. and it is a bit of a bugger of a walk.
So I wandered over to a pile of car parts instead. I know that there is a tiger snake that lurks over here. I
