Selfie – “a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one that is taken with a smart phone by stretching ones arm to the limit and then trying to press the camera button, the photo (that you will forever regret taking) is then uploaded to a social media website” – has been named word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries editors, after the frequency of its usage increased by 17,000% over the past 12 months.
One of the few completely dressed ‘selfies’ on google
Purely in the aid of research, I did a quick search on Google images for ‘selfie’ and I was astonished, amazed and even gobsmacked at the number of women who took selfies of themselves in their bra and knickers.
Not to be outdone I have decided that Mrs Sensible and I should post our very own selfie. After searching through the selfies that Mrs Sensible and I have taken over the years, I have decided to push the boat out and post a nude selfie.
If this post is a success, we may consider a 2014 Pecora Nera and Mrs Sensible calendar after all it worked for Rylstone Women’s Institute.
Pecora Nera & Mrs Sensible in the nude

Scooby Doo left me a parcel right in the centre of the garage. I am sure he used a tape measure from my tool box to make sure it was central.
We are looking at alternative accommodation for him, Mrs Sensible has suggested:- in the house, in the other garage, and to be left in his present warm garage. My suggestions are not printable.
