SOMEBODY PASS MY DAUGHTER HER ROSE COLOURED GLASSES, PLEASE.

So, thanks to our tax returns, we've been able to purchase a few necessary things, including a new desktop computer for Lyn, which I've spent this evening setting up. Of course, a computer screen must have a desktop. A desktop must have an image. A Lyn must have something to drool at while waiting for the authorly thoughts to arrive.

Hence the Michael T Weiss picture.

ERIN: Who's that man?

ME: That's an actor Mummy thinks is handsome.

ERIN: But you're handsome!

ME: Aw, thank you, sweetie. You don't think he's handsome?

ERIN: (Pulls face) No! He doesn't even have a beard!

Ha! Take that you clean-shaven bastard!

Sob. If only I had a beard, I might be as handsome as Battersby... or Kenny Rogers... or Grizzly Adams....
