This blog features the greatest picture of Luca that has ever been taken

RE: the title of this blog. It's not an erroneous claim as you'll find further on. As usual the photo's resemble anything but chronological order:-

Late morning on Fathers Day, prior to the double generational Fathers Day meal (Dad, Mum and Ross arrived later for dinner), Luca, Yoda and I took a walk down the river in neighbouring Port Elphinstone. Not the most picturesque river walk ever witnessed (notice the 1970's corrugated iron barriers in the background), but, hey, it beats walking to the park for the 3000th time.

A group of ducks (a gaggle?) appeared quickly upon our arrival, clearly indicating that most forward thinking visitors bring bread to feed to them. We, however, are neither forward thinking nor "most people".

Leaving the hungry ducks behind, Luca and I competed in a race which ended prematurely when......

.......he decided that picking flowers held greater appeal. I do worry.

Yes, this is the "greatest Luca picture ever". Surely? It was taken this morning as I took him swimming for the first time in...........I can't even remember. The excessively long duration between this session and our last was greatly noticeable, with Luca demonstrating the aquatic aptitude of a lump of coal.

He is showing greater confidence atop his bike, although he's not the most committed of cyclists. Every slight incline is met with the call of "help me, push me please". Lance Armstrong he is unlikely to become.

I don't even know when this was, only that it was taken in Carole's office.

As was this. As I wasn't there I can't tell you too much, sorry.....

To finish is a smiling toddler and his Dad. Look at the bottom of the picture for the item in my hand. That was my last crisp. Do you think I got to eat it?

**Useless fact of the day - Over 9 billion packs of crisps, snacks & nuts are eaten every year, equating to 150 bags per person per year**
