The week in pictorials starts with the slightly worrying image above, copies of which are currently residing on the wall behind my desk and on the barrier in front of my PC at work. As you'll likely know by now I'm leaving Asco for rivals Pentagon. Same industry, just moving to our areas market leader - hence the (humorously - I think) disturbing image created by one of my colleagues. I've been thinking about this for quite some time, and took over a week to accept Pentagons offer following our clandestine meetings. As of 1st March my email address and mobile number will change, so watch out for my new details.
We had a overnight guest last weekend, Luca's long term chum and erstwhile devil Ethan. The little chap has a tough life, but is good as gold around me. He's a big kid too, and this picture doesn't demonstrate the difference in size between him and Luca. The contrast is similar to that of Bruce Banner and The Incredible Hulk, albeit admittedly without the greenish hue.
Here's our young skinny-ma-link following his football on Saturday, resplendent in his new AC Milan football shirt, very kindly gifted from Great (ouch) Aunt Dawn. It's still slightly too large for him, but with his recent growth spurt that's a situation that'll change very quickly. He's really stretched upwards since November hence his rather wiry physique.
Previous to our visit to the cinema on Saturday afternoon (to see "Wreck It Ralph" - an above average Pixar romp) we took a few photo opportunities around Aberdeen city centre. Yes, your eyes don't fail you, that is glimmers of sunshine in the right hand of the photo. "What's that Dad?" asked our young hero, staring disbelievingly through terrified fingers at the yellow ball in the sky (disclaimer, he didn't ask this question)
Granny Jo joined us for the movie, but realised her mistake upon the films completion - there was no way he was going to let his Gran go straight home. "Come with me Granny, you'll love this" he ordered (we're working on the question thing) as he dragged us to the Aberdeen Maritime Museum. Again. I've been here so often with him I could lead him through it blindfolded. At least the above photo opportunity was presented. (Edit, reference the correlation in their height he is standing on a step. He's still well under 4ft, his Granny has little to worry about yet)
Photo of the day? Luca took this picture of his Granny himself. Very impressive, especially considering he dropped my camera phone on first attempt which resulted in rather a little trepidation while he had a second stab at it.
Carole and I managed a rare night out on Friday, enjoying a first for me - a trip to a proper Japanese/Korean restaurant. Unique isn't the word, as so much tasted very differently to how my eye was interpreting it to my tastebuds. Very enjoyable though, despite the amusing faces pulled by Carole when attempting the dried seaweed.
The late movie we caught afterwards was interesting too. "Warm Bodies", a zombie film essentially told from an individual zombies point of view as he regains his humanity. Definitely worth seeing.
Yesterday brought a pleasant change in pace however. Admittedly it started a little actively for most peoples taste, my 16km training run in blizzard conditions probably not best timed, but with Carole taking Luca toy shopping with his Christmas vouchers I enjoyed an afternoon of feet up on the sofa watching football on the TV. A rather common and cliched way to spend a Sunday afternoon granted, but on this occasion enjoyed hugely.
To finish, the question currently most prominent in my mind. I wonder when Kelly's promised (sort of.....) "Diary Of A Pregnant Woman" will debut? .........
**Useless fact of the day - Sheryl Crowe is 51 today. Crowe used to be married to Lance Armstrong. Did she know?**
