News bits:

Mother auctions ad space on bump
A mother-to-be from New Zealand has run an online auction selling advertising space on her pregnant tummy.

Julz Thomson, whose baby is due in March, made NZ$255 (£96) when she put her bulge up for auction on the internet last week.

The highest bid came from a businessman in Auckland whose company uses the slogan: "The mailman always delivers".

Ms Thomson has agreed to wear a T-shirt with the advert every day until her baby is born next month.

Really neat photos of the changes on the earth...

New "Visual"

Not the best shot, but what I have available for now

So yeah, I decided to try a new aproach to economizing on the shampoo bill, and went radical. First I cut my hair really short, and a few days latter did the full job. Darren likes it, Kenny loves to rub it and kay says she is still getting used to it. AnG...well, she wiished I had asked her first.

Fun planet

Since the weather has been rainy these days, I took the kids to "Fun Planet" this afternoon, so they could burn some energy, so there are some pics of the outing in the Foto Gallery.
Enjoy!
