Playground Pals

This morning the lad and I accidentally arrived for Sean's whole day out-of-school activity half an hour early. This meant of course thirty minutes of no-bars-held-father-and-son-time! After a friendly chat with the groundskeeper at the playground at The Meadows we were off.

 

 

Cat's In The Cradle

Sitting in the ridicously cold computer room at Stockbridge Library, listening to Ugly kid Joe and looking for employment on-line. After this I see lunch and a Tesco-run in the near future.

 

I just found a telemarketing job that offers free beer as a perk. Maybe if I stayed sauced I could go back there...

Vampire Realtors

I am on to you...

 

 

 

The Wall

The other day Sean built a wall (or mountain, as he called it) out of stuffed animals just before bed time. I am sure there was no alterior motive there at all.

 

It was 42 centimeters high!

If you aks me, I think it screams "Spring".

 

Gap's 2016 Summer Line

 

What is this? A couple pictures from a weirdly Edinburgh-themed clothes catalouge aimed at the white fashionable middle class?

Nah - it's just the lad and I up at Salisbury Crags.

 

 

Best in Class

This is Sean enjoying a treat after being named "Star of the day" in school the other day. That's right - academic achivements means sweets!

Boy With Fence

On the way home from school one day Sean stopped and posed, as he thought this would make a great set of pictures.

 

 

Monster Hugs

We met Sean's biggest hero in the last five years - Elmo - the other day. Since we had been discussing previously how a certain part of town look like the location of Furchester (Elmo's hotel that he runs with other monsters), this was the last piece of evidence we needed to cement that Elmo does in fact live in Edinburgh.

 

 

Of course I also hugged Elmo, but that was not captured on film.

 

New Menu

Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe it!

Hot Like Curry

One of the many benefits of living in the UK is the closeness to all things Indian. Apart from the people and the food there is also the Indian Channel on TV. The other night, for instance, I stayed up after everyone else had gone to bed to watch the UK network premiere of Policegiri.

That him and his old man really are to cool for school.
