* actual size
Other people’s blogs can be so inspirational, can’t they? I first found out about the bookmagazinebook project through Ladycracker’s post about her contribution, and I signed up straight away.
Then when I read Ampersand Duck’s recent entry about her bookmagazinebook I thought “shit, it’s about time I did mine” – which has been sitting in a little envelope here for a few weeks underneath a pile of other neglected things.
I scored issue 6 – WORK!WORK!WORK! which is one of those tiny little spiral notebooks. Of course I don’t do WORK! at the moment, not in a going to work sense anyway. (Which really means for money, doesn’t it, although the baby bonus did go in the bank t’other day. PS I STILL THINK YOU’RE A CNUT JOHN HOWARD, DO YOU HEAR ME?)
This photo is from the bookmagazinebook site.
So my page is very home-made, and stuck in, from outside that world of WORK! It’s a circle the size of Jethro’s vast head, which unfolds to show a copy of the graph they plot your baby’s growth on for the first three years of its life.
If you’re keen to participate, read this then email johnbonbailey at hotmail dot com. If you’d like to do an entry in this issue, leave a comment or email and I’ll arrange to send it on to you.

Heh, yep. No fun birthing boys who are off the scale for weight, height, head and age (but heaps of fun having ones who are off the scale for lervliness).
And don’t you just love silly wheels who tell you that you’ll soon forget all about it? I haven’t forgotten yet and mine was five years ago!

Wow, that’s a great entry! Nothing like childbirth to make the white collar workers look like utter pansies.

Oh, and Zoe, what you wrote to Peter Debnam was very funny and very necessary.
We think those pics will save the NSW Government.

Hey Zoe, I just emailed johnbonbailey. Would you be keen as well to send me a blog post of your choosing to be published in a blog zine for the Adelaide zine fair? This of course extends to all of your lovely readers.
My email is audreyandthebadapples@gmail.com
The posts have no theme, so feel free to send me anything!

Nice!
But I dunno, seems like a lot of work.
This pointless little post was really just to test if my grava-freaking-tar works…
