Trash Towers Dictionary

a/c - art crap. CK's fond term for the means of assuaging my addictions.

BSD - Been Seen Done. Devised while travelling the Great Ocean Road on CK's first Australian trip. Every lookout point was as fabulous as the previous and we got a little bit magnificenced out so rather than pull in we would shout BSD and keep driving.

Did I mislead you? It was unintentional.

The picture in the last post was taken at my cousin's house. I think she lives in a photoshoot. NO surface in my house is that clear.

As soon as I upload all my pics onto a computer on this side of the world you can see more but first I need to fight off the jetlag. An afternoon sorting out the crops in the Lower 40should do the trick.
