Tulip Cheeks

Cruelty to Animals!

Hasnt he just got the most adoreable face! In a funny kinda way? Hasnt he? I think so.

This is the afore mentioned Bosco - our lovely friend Joel's dog. When Mr TC, Cock (his sister) and I went for a gay day our to Phillip Island (more to come later) we couldnt resist this sweater for little Bosco (or 'Pig-Dog' as Joel calls him sometimes).

How good would he be on a Tigerprint card!

I just thought this looked funny

While I was waiting at the Airport for the Tulips to return from a trip to Sydney I saw all these drivers waiting for VIP people. 

Do you think they knew each other before hand? Or are they all chatting about their next pick up?

My first BIG spider....

It looks dead doesn't it! But believe me, it wasn't. 

The full bunch of Tulips were barbecuing in the woods of the Dandenongs (they have the most fantastic set up for BBQs in public here - just press a button and you're away!) So after a few snags and bacon butties Momma Tulip decides she needs to go see Uncle George (Mi Pa-pa always referred to a toilet stop as going to see Uncle George - no idea why). She told us the story of how she did the classic 'check under the toilet seat, check all around the door - no spiders, great she thought. She adopted a squat at the same split second her eyes glanced oner her shoulder and above to the right, to spot this.....a giant Huntsman spider. Luckily Momma Tulip hadn't started anything she couldn't finish in time to run out and call us all over.

Mr TC very camp-ly lobbed a screwed up bit of tissue at the spider to see if it would move.....it did, and so did we. All 5 of us ran out of the ladies toilet block screaming. 

Apparently the Huntsman spider is the most gentlest of all the massive spiders here as they don't bite....their mouths are too small - phew I hear you say, coz we were really worried about their gnashers!

Funny, Funny, funny!

My good friend Suzie just sent me a link to this fantastic website - Awkward Family Photos.com and Im sure she wont mind me sharing it with you - its hilarious! Its basically lots of cringe-worthy pics with applied funny captions underneath - ie.

Mind the fro.....

and....

You should see it when Grandma wears her hair up!

Theres LOADS more and they are just brilliant. Not only has the blogger got a keen eye for editorial with captions, they are very funny telling stories along the way too.....

I used to work at an office where birthday greeting cards were passed around at least once a week. When the card reached me, I’d quickly scribble down a message and pass it on ASAP. One day, a co-worker (and friend) told me that I might want to pay more attention to when signing cards, since the one that had most recently made the rounds was not a birthday card but rather a sympathy card for a co-worker whose parent had recently died. In it, I had written, “Hope it’s a great one!” 

Right up my street! Sugar Brown is gonna love this site - i wish I could be in the same room when shes chuckling away at these pics and captions. 

No way!

Is it true? I cant believe it. They've only been married 4 years...Ive had mascara longer than that.

And they are/were so good together. I wonder if peter will be coming back to his native country? Naah, he wouldn't leave the kids.

oh my god, Im shocked, and sad :-(
