The next installment May 11 2007

Finally we go through the motions of updating our blog spot - at the behest of the Bishops and others judging by the comments just seen. We have had to refresh our password but persevered.
Updating everything is just part and parcel of the nesting process involved in preparing the way for Hannah Rachel - bets are R1 a shot if you want to challenge the gender!

Herewith some nursery pics specially to satisfy Kym Bishop in some far flung region in the Northwest.

The Next Installment

First off I guess is to say compliments of the New Year to everyone. May 2007 be everything you wished for and a bit more.

Right that's the pleasantries done....

What is needed is an update on the extended family. There were two glaring omissions to page one viz: no picture of the demolition dog named Riley and the addition of the inherited cat. Riley has been discussed but the cat needs introduction. It has made itself right at home and visits for food and attention when needed, otherwise it sleeps or turns its rear end on you and flicks it's tail; very loving. Oh and at night time just before sleep it attacks you with a passion unseen outside of a lion hunt in the Kruger Park. Our thanks go to Kym and Mike for Amoo.

Pictures of these two will follow in due course.

This is the start of a momentous occasion - the Shackwells becoming Techno up to daters!

It really is a case of a blank canvass and where to start? The beginning is as good as anywhere else, so herewith an immediate family, breakdown structure.

Lord of the manor and Queen of the castle is Caryn. Here she is seen with a trusty companion in a previous locale.






Second in charge is her devoted but somewhat misinterpreted husband, Richard. Attached picture confirms that contrary to popular belief, there is no hardship in being second in charge.










No prizes for noticing the re-occuring theme applicable to the Shackwell household as evidenced by these photos. So let's meet the rest of the clan.



The Grey dog below is Mila the deaf Great Dane(she was born with a hereditary gene causing deafness). The next is Griffin the gay Red Setter. Missing is a picture of the latest miscreant named Riley, who is a black Great Dane puppy, who is also a one dog demolotion derby. (Picture and evidence to be added later)












Well thats all for now folks. Next up date as and when information becomes available or when the minister of home affairs decides to set the record straight.
