With Love Oh, I Wish I'd Looked After Me Tits
By Pam Ayres



Oh, I wish I'd looked after me dear old knockers,
Not flashed them to boys behind the school lockers,
Or let them get fondled by randy old dockers,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits.

'Cos now I'm much older and gravity's winning.
It's Nature's revenge for all that sinning,
And those dirty memories are rapidly dimming,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits.

'Cos tits can be such troublesome things
When they no longer bounce, but dangle and swing.
And although they go well with my Bingo wings,
I wish I'd looked after me tits.

When they're both long enough to tie up in a bow,
When it's not the sweet chariot that swings low,
When they're less of a friend and more of a foe,
Then I wish I'd looked after me tits.

When I was young I got whistles and hoots,
From the men on the site to the men in the suits,
Now me nipples get stuck in the zips on me boots ,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits.

When I was younger I rode bikes and scooters,
Cruising around with my favourite suitors.
Now the wheels get entangled with my dangling hooters,
I wish I'd looked after me tits.

When they follow behind and get trapped in the door,
When they're less in the air and more near the floor,
When people see less of them rather than more,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it, I did it!!!! I finally finished and passed my online course. Now am starting another but thats another story.
*Does the I did it dance*
I can now legally marry any couple who wants to get hitched.

Australia Day

This is the joy-inspiring day
That gave these blessings to our lot
Then let us share the social rites
Join hands, all malice be forgot!
This little star, once marked by none
Now shines a bright - a BLAZING SUN!

Among Australian public holidays, Australia Day is considered one of the most important as it commemorates the founding of the first white settlement in Australia in 1788.
On May 13, 1787, British Captain Arthur Phillip set sail from Portsmouth, England, to establish a convict colony in Australia.

He sailed with 11 ships, 759 convicts -- 191 of whom were female -- 13 children of convicts, 211 marines, 46 wives and children of marines, and his staff of nine.
Phillip landed at Botany Bay on the eastern coast of Australia on January 18, 1788, travelled some kilometres north to find a more suitable place for settlement and came ashore at Sydney Cove on January 26 in what is now the historic Rocks area at the southern end of today's Sydney Harbour Bridge. Having established Port Jackson, he then named the settlement Sydney after British Home Secretary Lord Sydney, who was responsible for the colony. Phillip was to be its governor.

This date — January 26 — is now commemorated yearly as Australia Day, but while it is a day that weaves together the past and present of a great land and its people.


MY COUNTRY
by Dorothea Mackellar

The love of field and coppice,
Of green and shaded lanes,
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins.
Strong love of grey-blue distance
Brown streams and soft, dim skies-
I know but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror-
The wide brown land for me.

The stark white ring-barked forests
All tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon.
Green tangle of the brushes,
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops
And ferns the warm dark soil.

Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When, sick at heart, around us
We see the cattle die-
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady soaking rain.

Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold.
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
That filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze...

An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand-
Though earth holds many splendors,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country
My homing thoughts will fly.

Congratulations America

Congratulations America on your 44th President.

It is a pleasant change to see pictures of a President and First Lady who are so obviously smitten with one another instead of the cold stand aparts that have been of the past.

For a man who has just made history Obama appears confident, well spoken and in control.
Change is a hard pill to swallow but pills are made to be swallowed.

Many have said that it is none of the worlds business who the President of the United States of America is.
This in itself is not true as the United States effects the rest of the world. Your economy goes down so does ours, you go to war so do we.

So this Innauguration has been watched with great cheer here in Australia. I know of many who if they were given a choice would have loved to vote, myself included.

Again congratulations America and the Obama's.

Mouse Neglect

Have you checked your mouse today?
Make sure you wrap your hand around and give it a good rubbing each day.

My Home Town

This is the entry to Luna Park. One of Melbournes most popular attractions.



The Scenic Railway Roller Coaster. It gives you views of Melbourne city and the beaches if you can keep eyes open long enough. This is so oldest continually operating roller coaster in the world. Opened in 1912.




This is a view of Melbourne from the 88th floor of the Eureka Building.


Another view of Melbourne
Over looking part of the dandenongs in the background. Far right.



The Bees of the Eureka Building. I am not sure but I am told these are coated in 24carat gold. The same as the top 8 floors of the building has windows infused with 24carat gold.


I stole this pic and the facts from the website as my pics werent as good and didn't show the building in its finest.

The world's tallest residential tower
Height of Building 984.3 ft / 300m
Eureka's 13 lifts are the fastest in the Southern Hemisphere
Lifts travel at more than 9 metres per second (Boy do your ears tell you)
The facade consists of glass aluminium panels covering an area of 40,000 sq. metres
The glass on the top 8 floors is 24 carat gold infused
The Skydeck is situated on the 88th floor and is the highest public vantage point (285m) in the Southern Hemisphere
The top of the Tower can flex up to 600mm in high winds. Two 300,000 litre water tanks on levels 90 & 91 help to dampen the oscillations
Horizontal white lines on Eureka Tower represent the centimetres and millimetres of a ruler



'The Edge' - a glass cube which projects 3 metres out from the building - with you in it - suspended almost 300 metres above the ground!

Some things should never be messed with

Eureka Skydeck

Cassie Esch and I decided to venture oout on the edge of the Eureka Building.

As its name suggests Eureka Skydeck 88 sits on the 88th floor of Melbourne’s Eureka Tower, currently the world’s tallest residential building located in Southbank. Visitors can take one of two dedicated lifts that propel them to Level 88 in less than 40 seconds. Once up there, test your nerve with a visit to “The Edge”, a switchable glass cube that slides out from the building, while you’re on it!

I'mmmmmmm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack

Hi all I am back and had the most wonderful relaxing time. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and just spend time relaxing and wandering through the tree's. Even got to spend some time skinny dipping in the stream.
We returned a few days early and kept it quiet so we could just spend time doing things we have been meaning to do for a long time.
Took Escher to Luna Park and we went out on the edge of the Eureka building at the 88th floor. It was a wonderful experience. We even took a horse and carriage ride through town and Esch perfected her royal wave to pedestrians.
Have some footage I will blog as soon as I work out how to transfer it.

Happy New year

Have a wonderful New Year everyone!!!

I am off Wednesday for 8 days camping. I havent been for so long I am looking forward to it..
Cassie and I started packing the car today. Just a few essentials..TV, portable shower, camp kitchen and toilet lol I must be getting old. I wouldnt even consider taking those a few years ago.
I used to have a small shovel to dig a toilet, a shower we would head into a town and ask the local pub if we could use one every couple of days, but now they have these great full pressure showers you hang from a tree and the sun gets the water to boiling point. It has a curtain that falls around it and even a rack to put your essentials neatly on. The camp kitchen is pretty amazing as well a washing and a rinsing sink for the dishes..A huge cutting board for food preparation and drawers to store items in as well as a couple of shelves and it is full height so no bending, Gone are the days of my old red plastic bowl I used to sit on the ground and wash the dishes in. The TV well thats a luxury item to keep Esch amused at night while she dozes off to sleep. Mind you my kids were just put to bed and told to sleep, according to cassie I was a little harsh and cruel doing that. Such a cruel mother I was LOL.
Some things dont change though. I pulled my fishing rod out of retirment yesterday and set it up all ready to catch a murray cod or a nice sized redfin or two (I am hoping anyway). I bough Esch her own fishing kit. The kids packs are great they include everything a kid needs for fishing plus a few extra's to make them feel special. I am not sure if I will get an excited reaction or a huge ewwwwwww from her when I give it to her.
I decided to invest in a new tent so we have some privacy and bought a 4 roomed tent. The salesman thinking he had just another dopey female purchasing a tent didnt realise I am a seasoned camper and knew exactly what I wanted. But we had some fun with him anyway..Mind you he was very redfaced at the end of the sale. Which is how we got the shower he decided to throw it in with the tent as a freebie.
I am dusting off the yabbie pots today and hoping we catch a few the drought has really kicked the poor things about though and breeding cycles all but stopped. Still a few for the pot will be tasty as a meal one night.

Now a few luxuries I dont mind but I noticed Cassie's makeup bag going into the back of the car earlier so when she isnt lookng out it will come.. No one going to see her where we are going anyway lol

I am headed to the dandenong ranges but what cassie doesnt know is it is a 2km hike to where we are setting up camp amongst a huge area of tree ferns and a small creek not far from us. So it will be cool and peaceful. I am hoping no one else has booked the area near us.
