I just came across a great blog site All about Sisters and being one myself I felt the need to spend sometime there. It was a really great read and made me reflect on my own sisters and our childhood.

I dont think there is anything quite like the bond of sisters…mind you, I have nothing to base this on as I dont have brothers. I am the youngest of the sisters (wicked ~ SW1 -4 and the explanation is a blog in itself) and I can certainly speak from my personal experience of the strong love, connection, bond…whatever you want to call it, we have.

There’s a gazillion memories that immediately come to mind that I could share and I’m sure about now they’re all hyper-ventilating as to which I’ll choose and who will be the most embarrassed! I figure I’ll actually leave those for another day, but today I’d like to share some photos…(yep…and that dreaded photo from dad’s wallet!…)

First off here’s a photo that doesnt even have me in it! Pretty rude I thought…although I guess it just means our parents were still waiting for the prettiest to be born! I came a little later

Taken sometime in 1960 (or there abouts) Ree, KD, Shen

From left SW2 Ree, SW4 Me, SW1 Shen, SW3 KD. I think that pics from about 1985 but who would know as it seems like its been in dads wallet forever!

1997 or there abouts (guessing from our clothes and the fact that none of us look like middle age spread has set in!)

Our most current photo taken at my sons wedding in April 2007. I think we scrub up ok for a combined age of over 200 years! lol Didn’t give anything away sis!

So to my sisters wicked…Love ya x

Its been really warm here today so I decided to open the windows and doors in the office to let in some fresh air. So nice to finally not have to dress in the winter woollies and to feel the warm Spring breeze…but in with the breeze came a blowy (Aussie term I’m guessing since we always seem to add a ‘y’ to the end of every word we cut down…but thats a whole other blog in the making!) so back to my story.

In came a blow fly…then another…and another…WTF

Up I got and bang closed the windows and doors. So much for the fresh warm breeze of springtime, but now my office was full of these disgusting, buzzing dirty creatures all hovering around the venetian blinds in my office. Infact, they were buzzing so loud I had to turn up my music as I couldn’t stand their noise!

Then it started….they could clearly see how their incessant buzzing was annoying the shit out of me and they began their kamakarzy dive bombing. They even banged into my head a few times…eeewww! The filthy dirty creatures had to go.

So I scrounged the office for a can of fly spray…yay! Look out blowies Buffy’s on the rampage with a can of Moretein Super fast killing fly spray (non allergenic of course!) **cough cough**

After several minutes the buzzing was deafening! They were darting back and forth, dive bombing from the roof and swooping across my desk. I feared for my life! Then gradually…one by one they got caught up in the venetians and with the final kick of their germ infested legs they bit the dust! (Literally…the dust on my window sill) At last…peace…but no breeze… just the lingering after smell of fly spray and a half a dozen blow fly corpses lying there.

Best I find a broom and get rid of them as they might grow maggots over the weekend and thats just too revolting to even contemplate!
