I always come on time. Except when you northerners sneak an extra day off!

Oh and I updated my skin shot. Same bit of skin, but before it was washed and pumiced. A bit yuck but I think a more interesting photo

I
always have trouble with the midnight thingy. Does that mean 00:00:01 -1 on 06/05/08 or 23:59:59 + 1 on 06/05/08?

Don't want Bindii to accuse me of coming early again

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2008 10:12 am**

I guess whichever way the midnight thing works, any time on 7 May is between midnight 6 May and midnight 8 May.

Window: Greg (Mr Darcy)
Image would have been stronger without the wire in front but I liked the RUSTic look.

Animal: Elena (Louie)
Anything humorous will get my vote and after all it WAS Animal.

Earth: Sue (Bindii)
Even though it is sand rather than earth, I really like the image.

Skin: Elena (Louie)
For the idea.

Window... Dvid, brilliantly exposed there I thinks..

Animal... ATJ, thats a cracker of a shot in anyones language!

Earth... Big Red, wow at the action (I also really found it hard to pick a favourite out of these cause they all were so good - dammit!)

Skn... Louie, cause using the banana skin was just too clever!
