Oh dear. More pics from the archives. School photos this time. I don't think I need to say anything else because the hairstyles (or lack thereof) speak for themselves.
Another pic from the slide archive. This is me on my second birthday with my brother and our neighbours and playmates Natalie on the left and her younger sister Deborah on the right. I reckon Debs has to have been my first crush (of many) when I was about 5. I got back in touch with Debs and her family a few years ago and it turned out she has a daughter too, born very close to Abbey.
Gotta love the wallpaper and clothing.
Ok, I can say the first and last few syllables but otherwise you'll just have to check out the Wiki page for Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. This place is in Wales and the the pic below is of my brother on the left and myself near one of the many signs bearing the place name of the village. Of course, there's not much going for the place other than it's name so they have to make the most of it by putting enough signs up so that all of the tourists can take their pics and say they have been to the place with the longest name in the UK. It's not hard is it?
The place name means "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave". Good job there wasn't a field of sheep, a working men's club and a Mr. Whippy ice-cream truck there on the day they named it and then we would really have been in trouble.
Gotta love that Mum and Dad bought a slide scanner.
Dig the trunks. Also the only time I ever had a 6-pack.
Scott and me. You could take out an eye with those collars.
Oh dear. What can I say? This is me circa 1979. Just gotta love the cheeks, the 70's hairstyle and the Muppets t-shirt.
Now, 27 years later, I'm married with three kids, the cheeks aren't so prominent, I still lack a hairstyle of any conviction and I'd still wear The Muppets t-shirt if it fit!
Tomorrow is Father's Day (Australian version) and it's also the day before Ab's 8th birthday so we're off to the Royal Adelaide Show for most of the day.
Damn, I forgot to re-mortgage the house before the weekend. May have to sell one of the twins on eBay.
