Love the pic, Golgot. You were a cutie, and apparently a happy one too. Thanks for sharing it. (Since I dunno what you look like NOW, this is my only mental picture of you now.)
And Mary, yes, they're always fidgety for pictures. Even as teenagers.
heheheh, cheers (think i'll stay in the seventies for now tho on the piccie front. Would'nt want you to see my more sarcastic modern smile just yet
)
it's weird on the smiling thing - but i'm almost always beaming like a loon in my babby pics. I have this totally surreal memory tho which might explain it a bit. I'm sure i've back edited this - but this is what i remember happening when i was six.... I was remembering a time when i'd been in the bath [to me it seemed like just the other day], and i was wondering why the bath water had been so low. In the memory, I was chewing on ("my") wooden fish, and then something caught my attention (everything was blurry round the edges, like i could only really absorb info right in the middle of my view, not periphary stuff) - it was the familiar looking black-n-silver camera (i.e. familiar to my six year old memory as a camera, i dare say), sported by my pa, with my ma behind his shoulder grinning at me like a loon
And her face just meant "goodness" to me at that time. That's the word that my six-year-old head gave me to describe it. I smiled coz i'd seen goodness.
In this six-year-old memory i now/still have access to (the other one has been reworked to death really. I have vague glimpses/grasps of the blurriness around the vision and my ma's face, but that's about it. When i try to thinking about it i get the actual photo more than anything)... i then saw the photo in question, and was flipped out to realise that it was a memory from so far before (i.e. at about ten months old). Now, it would make more sense if the photo triggered the memory, and i then came out of the reverie and then looked at the photo again and twigged. That's more likely what happened.
Either way, memories eh? Funny old world

. Anyone know how to shake the attachments thing so what you want drops out?
