Pie Maker

This is the newest addition to my office wall. It appeared there after I made an undisputed statement how I have clear similarities with this picture when I try to be charming and come on to the ladies.

Weekly Update

Here are some of the latest, or most exciting, things to happen to myself in pictures.

A bit of a blur, but you can still make out the determination in his eyes and the wicked awesome Star Wars T-shirt he is wearing.

"Black Pest Prevention". I would say so far they are doing a bang up job. I cant remember the last time The Black Pest hit these shores.

While queueing at Wal-Mart I had the option of casually blethering through Spanish Cosmo and Black Hair.

I met Justin Bieber at the local mall.

Things You Think About as a Parent

How come they haven't done anything about Norman on Fireman Sam?
At least once a week that little ginger brat gets the whole village wiled up and more often than not call on the attention of the local Fire Department. They should all chip in and send him off to a boarding school or juvy.
If I lived in The Welsh village of Pontypandy and had any say-so I would make sure that whole Price family found somewhere else to live.

Nobody likes you, Norman!

Player Vs Player

Friday Update:
Sitting in the office, trying to get organised while listening to My Bloody Valentine.
The past couple of days I have been giving a Spotify a chance. It is alright, but not more. I would have to say I prefer Grooveshark. It might be a bit trickier to find what you're looking for on GS, and things mightn't be there from one day to the other (I was really disappointed when my whole catalog of The Brian Jonestown Massacre disappeared overnight) but it is easier to add songs to your play-list while still playing it and there are no commercial break, 30 seconds of Selena Gomez can ruin a whole hour of Primal Scream (Fact!).

Tonight I am hoping to finally get caught up with the recorded last games of the Tri-Nations. Cant go wrong with some Friday Night Rugby.

Up and About

Here are the latest films of wee Sean. In the first he is slowly regaining his appetite after spending a week with ear infection and fever. In the second one he demonstrating his new found love of walking.

Yesterday Afternoon

Got some new films to share. The quality is really poor, but I only had to use the old mobile to shoot them.

This first one is of Sean making a break for it, crawling into the kitchen

This one is of the lad trying to reach the top of the fridge, where all the magnets are.

B-Day Photos

I managed to snap some pictures of Sean the afternoon of his birthday. Enjoy!

They Say It's Your Birthday!

Today is Sean's first birthday. I was planning on posting some pictures from his birthday party last weekend, but our camera broke the very same day. I will get back with some pictorial proof after I have collected all the pictures that the others took. Now I am off to get the Birthday Boy from the sitter.

Born Slippy

Perk of being the last one to leave the office on a Friday afternoon:
I can rock out to Underworld and pretend I am one of the characters in Trainspotting, something that really doesn't go down well with others in the office.

Photo Fun

My latest "Vintage Camera app" adventures:

A Flash Flower and a Wicked Awesome Looking Muscle Car.

Afternoon Art Session

One of our Nurse Practitioners (who I like to call Ninja, because she is so goddamn sneaky) thought she would be clever and leave me a message a la one post it not per page in one of my books. Well, she did. And I made it into Art.

New Pictures

One of the boy and one of the cat. I really like my new "vintage photo" app.

You Know You've Been Here For Too Long When...

You don't think twice about going for a refreshing 5K run when it is 92F (33 Celsius) outside.

In my defense, by the time I went for the run the temperature had already gone down from 102F, 39 Celsius...

"Damn! That's Hot!"

Cardie

My good friend Charlotte has a birthday coming up, so I made her a card.

Front

Inside

Appending Break-Up?

I feel Mouldie is getting a bit too self secure as a guest in my kitchen. Apparently now he need some time to think things over and work some stuff out. I am afraid this might be the beginning of the end of the Saga that is Mouldie and Matt.

Noteworthy is that Mouldie apparently ran out of ink in the first pen, went and got a new one and finished the note.

Stellan's Boy

What happens when I am left unattended at the local drugstore.

Letter Time

Got a new note from Mouldie last night. Apparently he appreciates the steady arrival of building blocks. I heard he is thinking of adding a second and third floor, or at least break through some walls.

Yes Mouldie, my green constantly growing friend. We still cool.

Cole Slaw?

Last night as I was whipping up some bacon pancake I again heard a by now familiar sound. I could tell Mouldie was at it again, writing a little message for my viewing. Not before long the aluminium fort that is being built on the kitchen counter started spitting out a piece of paper. This one had what seems like a casual dinner invitation on it.

Name Sake

I can be pretty bad with names, unless I come up with them myself. I have friends whose real names are complete mysteries to me, I call them by the name I think suits them. One of our patients at work has a Russian-sounding name. I call her Shostakovich, after the great Soviet Russian composer. At least it is not confusing to everyone around me.

Today's Helpful Hint

People over here does not use the word 'rucksack' and they have no idea what it could possibly mean. If you strike up a casual conversation in the lunch room about how your cat's fascination with licking and gnawing your rucksack keeps you up at night, you will see a mixture of confusion and disgust in the eyes looking back at you.
