But they'd only move even slower if that were possible without people like you Allan :-)

I have until the 21st to decide whether to renew or not, and with the speed that the threads are moving at, which is slower than a snail on tranquilizers, the decision may not be so difficult :-0

I'm just a masochist, Sylvia :-0

I once went out with a sadist and said to her, 'Whip me Whip me!'

With a cruel smile she looked at me and said, 'NO!'

Yes I did, Sylvia, and they are now pinned to the notice board as a constant reminder for me to keep my thoughts to myself :-(

I'll see them as soon as I get my sight back ;-)

So, I guess that you did not have your passport photos taken, raccoon eyes?

Yesterday I needed to use the car so I dropped OH of at her Craft Group in Brunswick, a very pleasant fifteen minute drive from where we live.

Earlier, as our passports are due to expire early next year I suggested the we renew them at the Brunswick Post Office which is a typical small country town one and not very busy as opposed to the main PO in Bunbury where it could take a couple of hours to be served.

So, on picking OH up from her Group it seemed the ideal time to at least have our passport photos taken rather than having to make a separate journey.

OH had hers taken first, after a lot of primping and preening.

Then they were printed!

You'd think that they were glamour photos the way OH was jumping from foot to foot to see the results.

Excitedly, she asked "What do I look like"

I replied "Like someone you would see lying on the slab in the local funeral home"

I didn't see the fight start, and I wont be seeing much at all until the swelling around my eyes goes down a bit :-S

:-D :-D :-D
