Almost dinner time. The bbq is being lit (bottom left hand corner). Am I jinxing it by saying the weather has been great??

We’re at our Chateau for our wedding. We have explored our surroundings. I’m going to post stuff. I thought quotes miht be of interest. Mum’s quote as she walked off with dad and i questioned why they we’re leaving was “I need your Father, I dont know which is my stair case…”

Well, pretty much everything can be taken “in that way”, but y’know, when he’s saying…

“Dad, look at my big junk”

I just have to smile.

Y’know, one day, I’m not going to be able to blog about him any more, so I’d better enjoy while I can.

When you are a kid, collecting matchbox cars was a way of aspiring to own cool and desirable cars – was it not?

Well, while shopping recently I did what any man does if he passes the toy aisle, I stopped for a look at the matchbox cars.

I was surprised to see this one on offer:

Really? A 2008 Toyota Prius?? Any takers?

I was recently in an auto parts store. It was quite a large store which stocks a load of different auto spares.

I found the following discovery amusing… look carefully at this photo:

All spark plugs sold ONLY in packs of 4!

I know this entire wall probably doesn’t list any of Mum or Dad’s cars on their compatibility chart.

“Only milk and juice comes in 2 litres”

Cyclone Yasi which damaged Queensland 9 months ago has caused a spike in predicted births. I wonder why. I do like this quote in the article:

“It is unsure whether relief at having survived the blast sent north Queenslanders into the loving arms of a partner or whether the days without electricity that followed caused bored couples to find creative ways to pass the time.”

I think TVs have a lot to answer for!!

Son: Mom, I will love you for ever and ever.
Mom: Aw, sweetie, can I record this and remind you of this in about 10 years?
Son: Oh sure.  I love you forever and I’m recording it in your brain so you’ll remember.
