Eggstravaganza

Most years we gather at family member's home some time over the Easter weekend. This year it was our turn to host on Easter Sunday, 27th March.

One of the highlights for the grandchildren is  our Easter Egg Hunt in which each participant is guaranteed to unearth a decent haul of chocolate eggs. The parents who have to deal with hyperactive children as they fast on their booty may not be similarly impressed.

While some of the grandchildren escaped my lens I managed to capture an image of most of them.

A bit of nostalgia - found this fifties postcard among the family files.

Paddy the Pooch is Pooped

A visit from my two energetic young grandchildren has exhausted my pup.

Paddy had taken to his bed for some respite.

Widdle Warning

Going through some old holiday snaps I found this warning notice from 1994.

Well I never...

When I watch the Australian Open Tennis on TV I don't take much notice of the subtle advertising on the players' clothing but one little badge (that is a bit hard for old eyes to read) has always intrigued me.

I wondered how the University of Queensland was able to get several highly ranked players to promote them via these simple red and white badges.

Wandering down Powell Street in San Francisco yesterday I got my answer. The badges aren't advertising the University of Queensland . They are advertising a clothing retailer, UNIQLO.

Silly me!
