Pictures






Grandad UK has requested pictures of growing boys so here they are. You know you are getting old when "things were different when I was a lad!". On the trip to Auckland last week, we made some gunge in the AUT chemistry lab. Some of the kids were getting really into it, simulating snot etc. I said that it was a pity I hadn't brought a camera. Next thing I know, they all have mobiles out and are taking photos of each other. Later on several of them are sharing the images with mates who did not go, cameras joined together and transmitting information through some sort of beam. Back in the old days you would wait 2 weeks to get photos back from the processor, or at least overnight. Now we can share a picture within minutes with someone 12,000 miles away at no cost!
Eric does not normally look like a zombie. Stuart has not really been arrested. Paddy does spend every available opportunity to be on the computer. Sally still has not lambed. The picture above was taken a few weeks ago. The fields really were that wet, that was the day that many houses in town were flooded.
