Only one speaks no english<BR/>I was going to pull this post down as it was getting a bit to personal, but I didn't . However, the photo was taken in the dim bathroom...very flattering!<BR/>Thanks Isabelle. I don't think I am what you would call "slender", my view of bodies is that if you can move around and sit comfortably, and climb up stairs, then your body is the right dimension. <BR/><BR/>Arc, yes, I do have a girly. There she is.<BR/>Yes, nice view, but I was trying to capture the messy table. I don't have my own desk at home. The table is chaos. I will clear it of when you, Bryan and Little come over for lunch.fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-34551287288570582592007-09-06T07:04:00.000+10:002007-09-06T07:04:00.000+10:00Is that the view from your house?

You've never posted a direct picture of yourself before. <BR/><BR/>I didn't know you had a daughter as well as a son. And you have annoying in-laws at your house prattling away in rapid-fire German? I can see how that would be vexing after a while. As it is, you don't have to see yourself through their eyes. Don't put that unnecessary burden on yourself. <BR/><BR/>So Father's Day is in September in Australia? We have it in June.Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282753903681981141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-2587465711557392172007-09-06T06:29:00.000+10:002007-09-06T06:29:00.000+10:00Oh, poor Fifi - but how wonderful to look so glamo...Oh, poor Fifi - but how wonderful to look so glamorous. In fact, I'm in doubt whether you're the one in focus or the blurry one, but if it's a self-portrait, you must be the slender blonde. Goodness.
