DOUBLE TROUBLE


The weather was crazy and so seems was she, for she had drunk just champagne for tea.
No cucumber sandwiches or sponges with cream and she now was as high as could be.
In the bath she reposed quite surrounded with bubbles as steam covered mirrors with mist.
She gazed through the open window at the paddocks and that’s when she knew she was pissed.

Outside was a Bull in the field and she saw that said Bull was the mother of twins.
Which meant that no doubt it was really a cow, for they both sucked those dangly things.
She picked up her camera, digital, new - and it gave her a zoom with a view
of taking a photo of what she had seen and then sharing it later with you.

The photo was blurry and quite indistinct which perhaps was a blessing I think,
for she’d pointed the camera the wrong way round and all was displayed, plus the sink.
There were features enough to prove it was her, the bubbles had done their discreet best.
But there was no hiding the giveaway sign – the dragon tattooed on her breast.

Written from experience no doubt Maureen.

Not me - but between the young ones in my family we could open a tent show for seeing the painted ladies

It's funny how you get used to the tattoos and even end up admiring them isn't it. I remember when Adam got a tattoo way back and I was so furious I was making noises about sueing the tattooist (he was underage at the time) and telling him he would regret it later (as he often reminds me). Now I hardly notice them, yes them, he didn't stop at one. I must admit it took me a little longer to get used to seeing young girls with tattoos, but now I hardly notice them either, unless they are a particularly beautiful piece of art, which they often are.

The funny thing is that I toyed with the idea of getting one myself back in the 70's. I sort of fancied a tiny little butterfly, somewhere discreet, but never got around to it. Ooh, there it is, never did get that round tuit.

Probably glad now you didn't bother Leonie - I am impartial to them, not really a fan but think they can look hot on a young toned body but sadly young toned bodies become old saggy bodies with often extra kilos and the dolphins become whales, the butterflies turn into jumbo jets - you know what I am saying. The scary thing with my mob is they are using their bodies as visual diaries, having every family event indelibly catalogued. that's a worry IMO

G'day folks,

I could show you mine (but then I would have to kill you)

go on then OMG Zondrae what were you thinking???

Zondrae - you haven't!!!!!???!?!?

I was horrified when one of my boys got his first tattoo, then another, and another, and ...................
Now I have got used to them!!!
Then my daughter and my other son got one, and I just don't say anything now!!!! Except comment on how I just might get one one day, and surprise them all!!!!

My two nieces have just got even more tattoes one working towards a full sleeve - getting towards the grounds of ridiculousness and now IMO starting to look really not nice, but what would I know

Now I have started doing photo restorations - I can visually eliminate them at least from photos if I want to.
