Like most men I'm not much good at this but I have raised this point with The Sage of the Neff and she confirms it. So for those interested in pursuing it further enlarge the print, use a black pencil to draw in gulley-like vertical lines left and right of the mouth, replace the eyes with oysters and there you have it: Barrett Bonden, Wanted Dead or Alive.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-913332048405537522009-12-21T14:54:17.675+00:002009-12-21T14:54:17.675+00:00The younger daughter.The younger daughter.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-87378594291521624392009-12-21T14:46:42.312+00:002009-12-21T14:46:42.312+00:00Pictures are great, BB.

How could I contemplate drinking beer made by someone who does that? Incidentally, a prezzie was brought back from Prague for me. It comes in a glass structure and the contents start with a P. That's a very sad sort of thing as a life-improver. I'm sure if I tried hard I could get back pains with that type of shovel too. In fact I'm getting back pains just writing about back pains.<br /><br />Plutarch: What a shrewd question.

Of course, I still type letters on my Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32. Now you have me thinking of the European markets and Glühwein. Snow is falling here as I type.
