Nostalgia overload January 26, 2006
On a stinking hot day and with your 40th birthday looming, what else do you do but scan a whole heap of photos of yourself and post them on your blog?
Here’s a romp through the last 40 years:
Let’s start from the very beginning. It’s a very good place to start:

I still look very much like this when I first wake up.
Then there’s the first school photo at 5 years of age:

I don’t think I ever wore that blazer again.
I was 10 years old when my first nephew was born:

I remember that I loved that frog tshirt.
Another school photo at 16:

I made my mother get the large version of the photo retouched to hide the acne.
The acne was still there at 20 and I had a mullet to add to the horror:

I’d forgotten just how bad my skin was until I got this photo out today. It took another 3 years to clear.
24 (I think) at Albert Park with Bundy:

He was a fantastic dog. He’d be 17 if he was still around.
31 and holding a very little Cosmo:

At 34 I was about to become a home owner:

39 with a bullet:

At the zoo with Finn.




Funny how some people’s appearance changes very little over the years while others change quite a lot.
some cute photos there
A great idea - don’t think I’ve seen that on a blog before.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Nicky - I hope you have a great day and a terrific holiday!
I love the photos, especially the one of Bundy. In the 5yo one, your smile reminds me of Finn’s.
p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow/today!
So cool. Happy Birthday.
