To be sure! Sex can't be all the same. You have to experiment with different positions!

Ducking the issue

Out for a duck

Duck hunting season opens in Victoria today. Protesters or unauthorised persons are forbidden to approach within ten meters of a duck hunter in a designated hunting area or risk a hefty fine.

There are rumors that some ducks have been recruited to patrol designated areas to warn protesters.

Something a little different

Kids

Wonderful to see a child involved in something. They are totally focussed and unaware of what's going on around them. It's something we lose as we grow older. They're also so convinced that hat they behave designed is perfect and requires immediate attention.

What price elegance

Global dressing down

Once upon a time , travellers dressed up to travel. If one went down in the North Atlantic at least one did it with clean underwear and properly attired bodies so the morgue would not be shocked at the state of your personal hygiene.
Today, it's the opposite. People dress down and differently. Yet everybody looks the same , as if  hordes of little scruffy upmarket models with jeans dirtied in Bengal, T shirts sweated over in China and Pakistan and expensive runners with more component parts than an aircraft, have been emptied into airport lounges. Keeps globalisation going, we can only assume.
