The Rugby League Footy Season has just started, and as usual, the Beer intake increases somewhat, 1 game Thu night, 2 games last night, and 3 games this arvo, which will test me out!, usually leave the Rum to the colder months of Winter, but still Warm, Wet and Humid up here at the moment! :-D
"Thanks UJ and James O", I totally agree, a lovely looking Cigar Box, I use the Australian Navy White Ensign as backdrop to get a better picture of the Timbers used etc., which some times can be hidden by the dark timber bench I prop them up on!, also the Flag also has a certain nostalgic meaning to me (and Bones!) :-)
"Thanks Bones", nothing better than the old White Ensign and a bit of Pirate Skull and Crossbones to remind us of what we both done in a former life! :-)
