Hi guys!!

Thought I'd share my new-found addiction to cleaning with Jane and yourself. Lara is scared to the point of locking her door at night and refers to me only as "The Freak" these days.

Anyway - I think you'll be impressed Jane...

First of all - here's the newly tidied garage with space left for my wee motorbike:





Impressed? Keep watching...

Here's the hall unit with new phone & patented "IT Consulting" A6 notepad. (Get yours today from all good stationery stores, nationwide)





Ok, lets take a peek in the front room....




Hmmmmmmmmmm.......... that looks like a LOT of hardware Michael. Jeees a windows media PC, widescreen TV, DVD-RW and a 5-1 DTS amp. I bet my bottom dollar the wiring is a mess.

Wrong! Because I ripped all the wiring out and started again with a whole box of cable ties. I'm even anal enough to LABEL the F'ing plugs!! OH YES!





Just for you Jane - it's marigolds time in the bathroom!




But the shining star must be the kitchen!



HOLY HELL thats' tidy. You want to see some close up's? OK.........







10 points if you spotted the inclusion of Miss Silvia. here she is in all her glory - just brewing up a frothy piece of creama heaven. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...






Now, who thinks I have a problem?

Anyone? Anyone at the back?

Had total nightmare setting this up! Already typed this text and attached images then lost my account details (hence the new HTTP address)

Anyway - here are the photees:

This is the fence I spent all day building - actually it was most of a weekend. Dug them thar big post-holes meself ya know. Played with cement and all (sorry Granda - "concrete"!)


And then I did a clever little wood effect with a two-tier divide - effectively separating the space using the natural medium of timber - much aligned to theories discussed in July's "Homes and Gardens"



Ok - the party arena is all set.......did we remember to invite anyone. Eh? Chez? Anyone?




A-HA! There they all are :) See how many familiar faces you can pick out!


Here's an example of the cool stuff my camera can do. This effect sucks all the colour out of an image - except the one colour you choose. Make's for some very atmospheric shots.





Here's another one taken on my actual birthday at mum's. Scary aren't I?


Finally - just to remind you what you are missing...here's a pretty sunset over Ballyholme beach:




Talk to you soon. Take care.
