Hi,
Every time I use one of those lame puns as a headline, I lose a couple
of people off my subscriber list. I wonder why??
Maybe it's time I worked on improving my journalistic skills...
A big welcome if you've just joined the newsletter. I hope it brightens up your day.
Today:
- You don't want to know this, but...
- Graeme, Harold, and Lee
- What I learnt from a sheep
- All smiles as
you fire your photographer
Remember, I do value
your feedback.
What's cool about this newsletter? And what's not? email
me.
You don't want to know this, but it's only ten weeks until Christmas!
Scary,
I know. And if you're anything like me, you haven't even thought about
what your Christmas cards and opportunities for sales promotions yet.
DO IT NOW and save yourself the stress in December!
Of course whatever you decide to do, you'll need professional photographs
to go with it - so do call me to book in a date now, while there are still
some free!
Just to jog your memory, here are some of my previous Christmas efforts:

Here's
some of what we've been up to - photographically - since the last
newsletter...

What I learnt from a sheep
The other week as
I was arriving home from work one night, I noticed my next door neighbour
holding a long, thin bit of rope with a lamb on the end of it.
Now, this wouldn't have been so odd if we lived in - I don't know, somewhere
where it's usual to find sheep - but since we live in suburban Coburg,
I was more than a little surprised.
Anyway, we got chatting, and decided I should borrow the animal for a
few days to 'mow the lawn'.
Little
Michaela thought it was a great idea, too.
I figured it would be fine if I just closed the side gate and put out
some water.
Well, the lamb seemed happy enough so I left it alone and went inside
for the night.
In retrospect I'm not sure what I was hoping for (a perfectly manicured
lawn?), but when I went out the next morning to check on the lamb, the
grass looked exactly the same (except for the sheep poo everywhere)
and our lovely silverbeet was all but destroyed.
So what's the moral here?
Well, it could be, "don't muck around with things you don't understand".
Or it could be something else. Please do email
me if you know the answer.
By the way, that also reminds me of a rather instructive joke. Just do
a google
search for sheep consultant joke.
All smiles as you fire your photographer
I just found out
that Canon have invented a camera
which automatically detects smiles.
This is great news for you, because you won't need a professional photographer
anymore.
Well, not once they add a few extra features, like experience,
creativity and lighting skills - and automatically detecting
when there is a lamp-post growing out of someone's head!
