A Warm Christmas with Mike & Sandy

The term where I come from is "Looking like you've been sucking a Lemon"

We have a similar head of hair.. Though I think I have more chins!!!!

:)
 
Jesus Frankie, looks like you are having a prostate check up at the same time......

This photo brought back many happy memories of my days as a portrait photographer. Us Aussies have a fairly direct way of dealing with customers that either gets a smile or a punch in the face. Whenever I was confronted by this situation I usually said something like, " lets try that again shall we, your wife has a lovely smile but you look like you've got a stick up your arse!" Oh, can I say arse here? Oops, I just did, twice =))
 
The Dutch from the Amsterdam region (mid north Holland) are very direct as well. Normally gets me into problems in the UK.......=))
 
This is my attempt at a festive fireplace photo.

I have to say our house doesn't look quite as tidy as everyone else's!

They say never work with animals or children and I now agree whole heartedly. There should have been two dogs in the picture, but I eventually gave up. The minute one is strategically placed the other wonders off!

Merry Christmas to all. May all your DreamZzzz come true.

Oh Yes, mine's very, very tidy. Of course, you didn't get the wide angle shot of the rest of the junk. And DOGS? I tried too: I just was searching for the other 5 photos that have the dogs in them. They were walking all over the place. When I picked the only one without them, I must have deleted the dog ones 'cause I can't find them now.

How'd you get the hat to stay on? Hair pins? That tool in front of the fireplace looks like something from the doctor's office.
 
Found them...................This was the first try when the fire was going and I have up...............

I got my wife to hold them now and then jump out of the picture. Of course, now, we have record high temps and no fire...............

When you go into the barber's for a haircut, you sometimes tell him the name of the style you want. When I think of my style and what name fits it, I say: " Give me the toilet seat special."

It has a little underchin strap. Daisy will wear it willingly for a biscuit. Our other dog is Ted... He is much prouder and was having nothing to do with it!

Sadly not true in this case. I'm nothing like as good looking!

Here is a recent picture of the wife, our youngest daughter and me going out for the evening...... My daughter would go ballistic if she knew I'd posted it!
