Manly Monday

Tom: As #1 prepared to help us with this post, she brought up Max's post for today, in which his mum writes about the autumn of his life, as actual autumn looms in South Africa. It made us think about how precious each shared moment is, and how lucky that, for now, we are heading into spring. All of us eventually face autumn and the losses of winter, and perhaps the fact that our hearts resonate with hers will bring a little comfort to Max's mum and the rest of his family.

We have felt the violence of nature closely these past couple of days. There was a huge storm blowing through France. People were killed and there was much damage to houses and nature. We were fortunate and would like to thank those who expressed concern. We also feel fortunate that #1's brother and his family, who live in Chile, came though the earthquake unscathed.

And so to today's post and its mega-dose of manliness! Actually, #1 says that's it should have been Muddy Monday as I look such a mess when I come home these days from my walks. But at least there was no wind and the Frisbee came out!

I'm ready!

READY!!!!!

Gotcha!

With just the occasional interlude to check out other stuff...

It's all part of being manly!

Oh, I almost forgot.... We were invited to dinner on Friday and the inevitable happened. I was chilling (Ha!) infront of the fire

and was assaulted by eager fans!

Yuu-Chan: Personally, I don't need props and stuff... I just need ME!

except when I'm demonstrating my manliness in a wild game of tail chasing...

Psssssssssssssssssst......... It's Bibi-Chan here. Can I join in on Manly Monday? Pleeeaaaaase?

Don't I look manly, standing at the window?

Tora-Chan here! I am hacking into this blog to show you what true manliness is all about! Does anyone else catch prey this big?

or look quite so happy?!
