The child in your arms is your daughter or your son? It is so cute! Be a happy dad have very beautiful children!
Bless, you and your children and your whole family!
Warm wishes, Alastair! 🙂
Thanks 🙂 It’s my daughter
Your daughter is a doll, Alastair!
God bless and be happy! You too! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
I’M A LITTLE SLOW, ALASTAIR! Yesterday, when I read through the list of people you tagged, I didn’t notice my name! I only came back to look TODAY because my WP “Stats” page listed “kattermonran.com/2013/06/21/tagged-2/” as a “Referrer.” Thanks for thinking of me, and I’ll comply with the rules.
That’s okay 🙂 I look forward to seeing them
Great photo of you and your (eldest or youngest). I enjoy reading these posts as I feel you open the door to getting to know you a bit better. Thanks for thinking of me. BTW, I like your new gravatar. Have a great weekend. 🙂
Thanks LuAnn. It’s my youngest. She was 15 a couple of days ago 🙂

damn you Alastair…
you alphabetize everything? Are you a secret librarian?
I think I must be lol
awesome pic, Alastair:)
Thanks Vishal
You are brave Alastair,
alas, I cannot stand tagging…
Andro
I shall endeavour to tag you next time …. oh did I miss out the “not” …silly me hehehe
I don’t think my settings allow
tagging but try if you wish? 🙂 lmao
Andro
hehe. I wouldn’t. Not intentionally anyway
🙂 lol
Andro
The more you reveal the “inner you” Alastair the more we all realize how very special you are, in so many ways! A great post, and fun too! Naturally I love the photo! 🙂 xx
Thank you Penny. I truly appreciate these comments. I have an inspirational quote going on tomorrow that I need to look at daily and maybe it will sink in. I just hope it helps loads of other people too
Love learning new stuff about you dear xxxx
😀
I forgot, thanks for tagging I shall do it as it is quite fun!
You’re welcome 🙂 I couldn’t resist 😀 Want to find out more about you, so I can tease you with it next Saturday 😆 (kidding)
Haha I shall be careful… hehe…
Haha 😀
Great to know more about you again and great picture. So you alphabetise everything????? are you clothes in alphabetical order? ( I know someone who does, by designer label. Can’t happen to me I don’t have designer clothes)
But I have to admit, my DVD’s are in alphabetical order on the shelf , my books as well. I like it neat too and it is easier to find something. I even made an excell list of both. There you see we have the same ideas! 🙂
I have an access list of DVD’s and Blu-Rays. along with who I have (had) lent them to. I don’t lend any more. I lent someone The Lord Of the Rings; 13 years later I brought it again – before the films came out. Then I lent some films to someone else, and they vanished into the ether.
Clothes are in alphabetical order of colour. Black, blue, brown, green, grey, red, white.
wow really…. you are well organised, amazing. I agree with the lending, it is always hard to get things like that back.
It is. I don’t talk to either of them any more so the chances of their return have diminished megastansively
I LOVE your (noncommittal) answers! I’m assuming that the picture is of a “former” you and that your gravatar is the “you” the world now knows!
P.S. I love the fact that you buy flowers for yourself. You’re a man after my own heart. I was nicknamed “Flowers” as a young boy because I preferred gardening over sports. I had a RIGHT to like flowers as a boy!
I love flowers. I started buying them just to photograph. Then I realised they look nice too 🙂
The photo is in 1998 a month after my daughter (in the photo) was born. The gravatar was the one AnElephant took last week 🙂
You looked WAAAAAAY too normal then.
I was married and working … funny thing was … I had a nervous breakdown a couple of weeks after that
Well, I bet it wasn’t a funny thing THEN!
No it wasn’t. Not too bad when I look back on it now.
Loved learning more about you ~ I like buying flowers for self too!
And peanut butter – (and almond butter) — Great shot Alastair – Enjoyed this! x RL
Never tried almond butter. But not over keen on almonds anyway
😉 they are good for you – more alkaline than peanuts! but too expensive!! – have a great weekend! x
You too Robyn, and thanks for commenting
oooOOOo fun! I love your questions!! The questions are key–and your answers are very interesting,. I have to say, the pic of a young and proud papa is just so heartwarming and beautiful, Alastair. Somehow, in my life, I have met some of the best men–the ones that stick around for their kids, you know? I was raised mostly by my Dad, and he was the best. (I went “wild” after I moved in with Mom as a teenager…and she let me!)
I’ll post tomorrow! I am a’surfin today–saying: hey…that’s really good! (where applicable)
Hope your day rocks, cupcake!
Thank you. It has been a good day 🙂
congratulations… what a beautiful photograph… I love to read your answers… Thank you have a nice weekend, love, nia
Thanks Nia. Enjoy your weekend
Love the photo! Just love it!! And great job on getting all of the die hard on dvd-I’m so proud of you! Your post made me laugh, then cry when I saw you tagged me 🙂

This was fantastic! I loved learning these new things about you, Alastair! You just crack me up with some of the answers. Hmmm….so now it is my turn. Thanks!! 🙂 Skye a/k/a Ren (proudly)
I like the word precipitation as well. Good word. 🙂
