Justifiable 'rub-out'

Our house was a little fuller this past weekend. Our 3 daughters made the 450km/280mi trek to deliver on a Mother's Day promise to help us paint a large part of the interior of our house. It's amazing how quickly 2 coats of paint can be applied when 5 people are armed with brush and roller !

The house was also made fuller when one of our daughters brought her 2 dogs, and one of the dogs unwittingly brought along a 'friend'. The story didn't have a completely happy ending, however - after shooting the friend, the task of disposing of the body fell to me. I hope you'll agree from the evidence that it was completely justifiable. My daughters and wife were grossed out.

Now before you go and look at the photos, I need to write you all a heartfelt THANK YOU ! Whilst I was trying to get my internet and blogger issues sorted out, a few more people snuck in here to become followers - and I didn't have the opportunity to mark the occasion of no. 200 joining ! I want to thank each and everyone who has taken the time to come and look here - I consider you all friends (and fellow photography addicts). I want to thank everyone who leaves a comment - I look forward to reading them daily. I only have one regret - there are not enough hours in the day or week (and especially not the way my internet has been 'working') to visit each of my follower's sites.
