A photographer from the local newspaper came to take my photo today.
The Six Nations rugby competition begins next weekend when Wales play the old enemy, England, at Twickenham. I noticed that the Evening Post was advertising for a rugby fan blogger to cover the tournament so I applied. I suspect I was the only applicant so I got the 'job'. If I'd been the only applicant and had been turned down it would have been pretty depressing but I wasn't, so that's fine.
'So can we send a photographer to take your photo so we can introduce you to the readers?'
'Oh, yes, okay.'
I forgot to say that in my application I'd just happened to mention that Husband is an England rugby fan so they decided they'd like a photo of us both in our respective rugby shirts.
(When I told Husband this little detail, he groaned and muttered something under his breath.)
So the photographer came today. First of all he took some shots of me on my own then some of us together. Now where I probably made my biggest mistake was saying that we had a large blow-up daffodil and would he like me to bring that out with me (he took the photos in the natural light outside).
He stroked his chin thoughtfully then said, 'Eureka!' (Or words to that effect.)
So what do you think? Which photo will appear in the local paper? Me in sexy-in-rugby-shirt pose or me hitting Husband with giant blow-up daffodil?
I'll keep you informed.

Oh Liz! I can hardly wait to find out! Be sure to post the photo(s) when they're published. This ought to be good - for something! lol
Warped as I am, I rather like the one of you hitting hubby with a blow up daffodil. In fact, I would like to see a blow up daffodil...or would that be a blown up daffodil?
Yes, don't forget to scan the photo and let us see it.
Yeah, what is a blow-up daffodil and why do you have own. I thought when I saw the heading in bloglines it was something to do with George and the daffodils again.
Gee whizz, I can't type or punctuate today. one?
"Now where I probably made my biggest mistake was ....
Come on! That was no mistake. You're delighted.
Congratulations on being named the rugby fan blogger, Liz. You will share the photo the newspaper published, won’t you? And the details of your rugby blogging. Perhaps an old gent like me across the Atlantic pond could even something about the game.
Well cool cool cool! You're a writer! Congratulations! Give us the link to your Rugby blog won't you? I'm just wondering why #1 you HAVE a giant blow up daffodil, and #2 what the connection is between daffodils and rugby... Oh well, it'll be a funny picture, can't wait to see it!
I know why the daffodil. It's the national flower of Wales!
Good grief, the things you get yourself into.
Don't tell me that the paper are going to fund a ticket to the games for you!!!!
I will be so so jealous.
I really look forward to reading your blogs of the tournament
It'll be the daffodil...I don't know, what will you do next in honour of rugby? Become a mascot?
Beware of the photoshop monster! It will be the blow-up flower in a sexy rugby uniform!
