PhotoHunt: Flag - C'mon Aussie, C'mon!

Well he's back! Going for gold.

Back in England representing Australia in pool - 8 ball, again, for the second time!

He's 18 this year. Please cross your fingers for him - I just want him to have a good time.

And just for fun!

Giancarlo with Trixie, yesterday afternoon.

PhotoHunt: Creamy - Cappuccino

The first picture is here in my house, in Canberra. I make a cappuccino every morning.
The next one is at Il Fauno Cafe in Sorrento and the last one is on the Isle of Capri - both in Italy.

Specially for Nancyhol - here is a pic of my Breville cappuccino maker I use every morning with Vittoria Espresso coffee. And I buy coffee sugar as well.

Here's Pyewacket - for Nancyhol :)

PhotoHunt: Lock - up the cat food

Oh dear, it's come to this. Trixie is on Science Diet DIET and Pyewacket the siamese and ol' Tigger are on the old Science Diet I'M FULL OF CALORIES.

The cat food, apart from the very expensive diet cereal, is now locked up. As Trixie isn't sure just which cupboard it's hidden in, she is taking turns pounding loudly on every cupboard she walks by. She knows there is also a good part of a sack stored in an esky, which she has taken to sitting on.

I had just bought the enormous sack of full calorie Science Diet cereal last week.

Anyone with one fat cat, and two thin ones, will know just how hard this is on both Trixie and me. Oh dear!

These were from my last trip with my sister in 06 - we are off on our fifth Italy trip (my ninth), later this year.

PhotoHunt: Advertisement - For a Famous French Dessert

Would you believe me if I told you that this was from an advertisement for a famous French dessert?



Mais, pourquoi non?

Oh all right, I made it myself.

San Gimignano coffee

When only the best will do...

PhotoHunt: Books - Blurb books

I print up all of my digital scrapbook layouts into photo books using blurb.com

I am currently making my 13th book - half of those I have made have been presents for my relatives. I have to say, they look pretty good in the bookcase or on the coffee table.

This is one of my favorite pictures that will be in my next book.



Alessandro at the Gold Coast, when we went up for my Digital Scrapbook Place conference a few weeks ago.

This is my latest PhotoHunt entry.

PhotoHunt: Plastic - Chairs outside Cafe Lavena, Venice

Journaling:

Lavena Cafe doesn’t open ‘til 10am. Pity I’m two hours early.

The Piazza San Marco glossy cafes don't open until 10 or even later, in the morning. So we have to get our first cappuccino a few blocks away. Then we go and sit on the plastic seats outside the cafes and people watch.

This is my latest PhotoHunt entry.
