A few pics of things passed by; i took this wonderful pic in a $2 shop on smith street collingwood; met up with matina for breakfast; she'd been up all night partying; arh the things one gets up to when one is hung over

















my minging tonsils; although they are not infected for this photo; have been on waiting list for over 18 months to have them removed; not so sure i want them removed; as it may hinder my ability to proved good _ _ _ _






















matina and her daughter, ashley; my god daughter; no, she isn't named after her godfather; oh lazy late summer afternoons in delightful beer gardens in ole melbored town
