Goofy I can do

When I saw today's prompt I knew I could do it so I just had to join in as Pete is settled in front of the TV so no danger to himself (or others).

I took this picture last weekend at Walton Gardens. I asked Kyle to go stand against the tree with the intention of getting a nice thoughtful shot of him. Hmmmm look what I ended up with - Simon Cowell after a lobotomy. Why can't I have a willing model to take pictures of like SuzyB, Maz and Louise, why do I end up with the "goofy" one who won't do anything I ask him to do? It's just not fair.

Pete's feeling a bit better today but that is only because I am not letting him do anything at all, as soon as he does try to do something his heart races like mad so I push him back on to the sofa(gently of course).

I'm off out in a minute to fill up my new baby, I just have to remember to get diesel and not unleaded. Now I have read Shannon's blog I am even unhappier about paying the price for my fuel as in the US they are only paying $3.77 per gallon which is the equivalent of 43p per litre compared to our £1.22. Just shows how we are being totally ripped off over here as from what I can see the last time petrol was that price was 1992 at least.

Hi there,
sorry to read about your families health problems. It helps to blog. I know as I am the one with the racing heart. Thank goodness for goofy children or I wouldn't have had a challenge photo for today.

Hehehe, that's well and truly goofy.

Hope your hubby is on the mend. I have a 'willing' volunteer in that I usually end up paying her in some way for posing, tit for tat and all that.

LOL :-D What can I say . . . boyz . . . well really that says it all :-D

Seriously, you have a point, Rach the money is flying out of our bank account faster than ever . . . and I am not extravagant, or a big shopper :-( Food is up and petrol is ridiculous, which then puts even more on the food :-(

Ah, well, less of the doom and gloom.

So caught up and so off to iron . . . your Mum isn't available is she? What a star :-)
