35. you call lifeguards lifesavers (eventhough we all know that lifesavers are fruity hard candies that don't wear spedos and lifeguards are the people with nice bodies who save you from big waves and sharks).
I always wear ugg boots to the shops!
Love the clothesline also - still small enough to hang off it.
My favourite was No 12. (see a posting from January 2) - we went to Field Days, an outdoor festival, on the day sydney reached 46 degrees! woot! PARTY.
ps couldn't find anything about possum hunting in there... although I did find some photos from that time in the park after Jan 05. Armed with a keg, giving beer to hobos.
I know far too many stories involving alcoholic intoxication and 'daves'.
The most amusing that comes to mind is when Dave Frottlieb was done by the cops for pissing on the gold ANZ cash deposit box in the Queen St Mall.
When the cops asked him for one good reason why he was pissing on ANZ's deposit box, he answered, "only one?"
Good effort Westy, It's good to see what you're up to.
