Wednesday 27 August 2008 : 200 :)
Hubby gave me one of Grace's birthday balloons for my own birthday on Monday, customised to my age...this is not it. I am not 200. That would be freakish. I just borrowed Hubby's customised balloon idea for my 200th blip (so I don't know what he will do now when he posts his 200th later today... ;) Was hoping to shoot this with a beautiful blue sky backdrop, but there hasn't been much blue sky around this 'summer'.
Thanks to Joe and all at blipcentral for this site and thanks to the contributors for making this the friendliest and most fun community I have ever been part of online.

I love checking your journal - you take fab pics and your commentary is always interesting, witty, heart warming and sometimes laugh out loud funny.
By the way - with regards to the 'tank game' on the old computers, thats one of the games on the Wii that you get as part of the bundle. And its addictive!

Thanks for taking the time to comment on all my blackblips.
It is much appreciated. :)
It is hard to return to school - but I love it, so it isn't too bad.
(Although I could do without the 5:00 am wake-up.)
Good luck on Monday!
