...and so the scanning of the past continues.

Dad (far left) and two friends outside Harare Anglican Cathedral probably early 1940's



Looking thoughtful




Strange cut out of Dad at Prince Edward School, Harare, mid/late 1930's




Swimming in bilharzia free river early 1930's 





Dad, Sheila, Gran and Grandad




Grandad Gill in Scotland with Stan in a wheelbarrow. Mid 1940's





Mom around 1943




Dad I think is the kid with the tanned legs in the middle.






Granny Gill? with Anne, unknown and Mom.





Scottish Family outing. Mom is the bundle with a fur hat next to older brother Ian or Andrew. Anne is the other kid in a fur hat further back.  I am assuming that the two adults in the front are Gran and Grandad Gill.....who the rest are is anyones guess!




Dad with pooch on bike. Harare . He looks about 17. 





The Gill kids. Ian, Andrew, Anne and Mom. Mid 1930's Scotland.






The two middle kids look like Sheila and Dad with seriously tanned legs. No idea who the rest are...but the boy could be Dad and Sheila's brother who died.


Harare 1933 from the Koppie.


Dad with dog. Harare Early 1940's

So what do you do if you feel like blowing yourself up

What's with these folk who want to blow themselves up................for what..................these people must surely be desperately deeply malfunctioning narcissists? Psychosexual problems maybe...........maybe the first time they watched themselves wank was in a distorted mirror..........not a pretty sight...........but surely lads..... not something you have to kill yourselves and others for? They are soooooooooooooooooooooo foooooooooking dysfunctional narcy that they don't believe in any system to register a complaint or vote...............nothing is good enough for them...............in fact they don't want a system at all...................they are as delusional as The Red Brigade and Baeder Meinhoff were in the 70's and 80's. What can be done about it..............who knows..........maybe a change of diet, a little bit of generosity and stopping this crap about foreign policy.......................................we didn't see you on the March against ...

Back fom Greece

Well, have just returned from Zakynthos or Zante. Apart from a couple of dull weather days ...one at the start and the other at the end.....and a hotel that smelt of dead dogs, babyshit and nicotine stained underwear.....it was a good place to be. We escaped the Kalamaki resort and hotel with a hired car...and with the good sense of Isolde we went down a track to look at a Villa on the beach.....a good ten kilometers from the rooms from hell and with a mountain range in between. What a good move. We met Soula, the widow of Ville Fiore, who was beautiful, charming and deserved the money we paid for the rooms....in fact even more...money that is. From then on it was a daily vist to Zycanthos Town....a wheel around the views...and every second day a 10K run. The food scene...whew.....some desperately bad mistakes....and some gems. That's it for now...will post more pics as the week passes. Posted by Picasa
