' Tex is beautiful ! '

Hey, my first video upload!!

(This video was taken with my Fujifilm SLR camera, it's an AVI file, 23 MB.)

Meet Tex the Whippet!!! Tex is licking his lips each time I tell him he's beautiful!

Tex is now about 2 years old, he's a typical whippet, timid, shy, loves affection, is utterly adorable.

He's owned by my friend Brigette. We were at her parent's place in the Southern Highlands, October 2007. Tex was being naughty, he wasn't actually allowed on the sofa, so pleased and comfortable he appears to be!

sorry 'bout that. Trying again...

My high school genetics teacher once said that people's pupils dilate when paid a compliment. Perhaps dogs salivate and are compelled to lick their chops?

Cute vid.

Paul Weller live at the Sydney Opera House

Paul Weller revisits Australia for his fourth tour down under and sells out the Sydney Opera House over three consecutive nights during the height of Sydney’s summer.   Fan-site photos show Weller basking in the hot sun and gazing out onto Sydney Harbour.   I went to Paul Weller’s second “middle” show on Sunday 29 th Jan, and one of his first utterances as his band took the stage was “last night was a great fucking night, I hope we can match that”.   Summing up from the electricity and excitement generated by the band and audience he certainly did, and on the next night too if all accounts are to be believed. Weller and his band of mod-looking musicians played a blinding set that lasted for well over two hours, drawing from songs from his fine latest release ‘ A Kind Revolution’ along with a number of old Jam and Style Council songs and his well-known solo songs from his mid-nineties solo period, and beyond.   That’s forty years worth of consistently great...
