My kids went to the Isle of Wight and all I got was ...

... this black eye.
Do you like it?


Do you wanna see a close-up?
Rotten blurry kid.



Sunday afternoon as everyone was lolling around recovering from the week of holiday I pushed open the door into the living room just as Princess C-W turned suddenly.



BAM!




Next thing I know I am on the floor with a black eye starting to form.










Wanna see?












I think my girl has a career in make-up artistry beckoning.
They are so realistic looking and fabulous fun to do.
This is destructoBoy's self-inflicted knee 'injury' or 'bruisescar' as it is also known he tells me.
All done with judicious application of eyeshadow and some gentle blending.
Hours of fun for the whole family. Except CK who is a grump and did not find it either funny or smart.

  1. Being quite clumsy, I am generally wearing a fading assortment of "the real thing" at any given time. Last month after dragging around 16' steel stock panels to fence in my goats, I wore long sleeves and trousers in public until I didn't look quite so much like the victim of a mugging - bruises from ankles to wrists. But no black eye! Just lucky, I guess!

  5. Oh man - you had me going there! I thought you'd fallen victim to a local ruffian.

    Marvellously convincing work and I'm genuinely shocked that CK didn't fancy wearing eye shadow - or is eyeliner more his style?

  13. Er, that's you. I thought that 'you' wasn't allowed on blogs

    Seriously though, top skills with the blue eyeshadow. Did you half inch it off Mrs Majors my Maths teacher? She blurry loved the stuff. In 1985 anyway.
