Ummm....ouch

Liz arrived on Friday. Comedy element is already present.


Here's Luca running carefree round Union Terrace Gardens on Saturday afternoon. As Jeremy Beadle used to ask (incidentally, is he still alive?) on "You've been Framed" just before every commercial break - "What happens next?"


Yes, Grandma Liz loses 3 teeth. I'd asked her to pose with a (worryingly) highly strung Grandson for what I intended to be a happy, smiling family picture on a beautiful sunny day. It instead turned into a scene of (unintentionally hilarious) horror. Luca, in his excitement, continued to bounce up and down as his Grandma held him, resulting in an echoing thud as his head landed a blow under her jaw of at least comparative impact to many of Mike Tyson's greatest hits. Could this photo have possibly been taken at a more inopportune moment?


I wasn't serious about Liz losing three teeth though.
It was actually just two.



Is it noticeable that I've neglected my camera responsibilities of late? The only other picture of note is the one featured above, and is more of a curio than anything of genuine relevance. It's a snap I took yesterday of the "Hand of God" church in Aberdeen. Which is part of a tenement style section of business units. In the cities fish market area. Still, at least if Jesus decided to use this church to repeat his trick of providing fish for the 5000, it'd incur a little less effort than his first attempt those 2000 years ago.

Much more to report - primarily that of Carole's impressive time of 27 minutes in today's 3 mile charity race - of which I'll detail later in the week.

Unless my aged fingers become too flimsy to continue these journals upon reaching my 35th birthday tomorrow.

**Useless fact of the day - Jeremy Beadle, a popular TV presenter who attained an MBE, died on 30th January 2008. He lived his life with Poland syndrome, a visible disability which manifested itself as a disproportionately small right hand**
