This will hurt me...

Hank shows his Mum how it is done.

Kicking sand in my face. Marion Bay. July 2013. Wordless Wednesday.

From the front... ...From behind.

One of these people does not need a wetsuit...

Birthday girl. Peppermint Bay. January 2013. Phenomenal woman indeed! She had the pizza, I had the mussels, Henry had the fish(and chips) and Ezra had the pizza. Phenomenal Woman , Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My in...

Jen and Hen risk life and limb down on Opossum Bay...

Hen and Jen ponder the fact that today was our first 'proper' beach swim of the season...

A flushed Hun pulls a face along the Manly Beach Promenade up in Sydney. There will be a few shots of sin city over the next few weeks. I took a few!

I think that he strikes me in this photograph as a little Napoleon trapped on St Helena...

Jen and Hen audition for the circus. Unfortunately, they were both knocked back.

Don't do it!!!

Look at them go. Where? I dunno.

Young love... Ain't it grand?

Henry enjoys his second frog in the pond at the Lindisfarne North Primary School twilight fair. I was surprised that he didn't enjoy four or five...

Here's one from a few months back. Jen and Hen re-enact the Abbey Road cover down on Calverts Beach...

Hen and Jen look for stones at Sisters Beach.

Off to feed the ducks. And a few geese. As well as the odd native hen.

Jen and Hen take an eye quiz halfway up the Nut! The Nut, Stanley, Tasmania's North West Coast. February 2012. Tuesday Q and A and we continue to trawl our way through The 99'er Meme: Part 3 . This week, no celebrity 'dating' question! 51) Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong? Absolutely. One tries not to dwell on it, but of course I begrudge when people get away with something shocking… 52) What is your astrological sign? Taurus. It must be all nonsense though, because they reckon that I must be stubborn and ferocious in my anger ! 53) Do you save money for anything? What? I like to keep a buffer there for whatever might be needed. Never let that number anywhere near zero is my philosophy. 54) What's the last thing you purchased? Shoes and shorts. 55) Have you ever had a relationship that you realised was lust not love? I’ve never confused anything else with love. 56) In a relationship? Yes. 57) How many relationships have you had? No...

Jen and Hen catch some rays at Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm. There's no word as to whether Lou Reed got his sunnies back...

Jen and Hen tackle the dunes. Calverts Beach, South Arm Peninsula. January 2012. One day I would like to live right on the beach. Global warming or no global warming! I like a good short poem that strikes, makes its point, and struts away. Gwendolyn Brooks manages that here. We Real Cool , Gwendolyn Brooks We real cool. We Left School. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon.
