Tenpin bowling. The celebratory stance was ever present. He beat me. And I was trying. To my shame.
Football training is back after the winter break. As is my thumb over the left side of the photo. I take photos like my mum.
In Dingwall, North of Inverness. Outside a Wimpy restaurant, about 20 years after the last one was spotted anywhere else in the UK. Dingwall, the ****hole that time forgot
Dad's birthday. Last time I got a look like this was when I handed in my Primary 7 report card
Better. At the Echt Tandoori for Dad's 65th. If only my flash had worked. An excellent night nonetheless
Except for my wife doing this
In Lincoln for Janes 50th. Val, Mike and Luca. One to be printed and framed, methinks
At the Cantonese restaurant for Janes surprise party. Yes, that's blue skies in the UK. Depressingly noteworthy
Jane and Carole together. Janes "distinctive" coat having been spotted and modelled by her little sister
Kat Slater
Cousins together as we left at night. Yes, there were tears
Outside the cinema today. We'd just seen the latest animated flick. It was, naturally, crap
Rather an archive image from Dyce Airport, as Kelly, Chris and Miller prepare to return to Oz. Miller appears greatly interested in proceedings
Luca and pals at the beach. Guess which one is "difficult" Ethan?
A nice distance shot of the boys playing at the shore
Luca on the train. As out of towners with a penchant for the city we travel a lot at weekends
On one of my long training runs. Yes, that's a horse and cart. How far had I run? At this moment I was thinking "Deliverance"
Pretzels are my favourite snack. Chain shop "Mr Pretzel" is one of my favourite places. Luca used to hate pretzels. He's changed his mind and loves them now. He currently eats three quarters of every pretzel I buy. I think I love him less.
At the cinema (yes, I live there). Can you spot Luca? He's developed a curious habit of touching the screen at the end of every movie. Why? Why do dog poo's no longer turn white? One of those questions you're not supposed to know the answer to, I suppose.
I should have titled today's blog entry "monosyllabic" shouldn't I?
**Useless fact of the day - White dog poop is the calcium left behind as the water evaporates, and the 'organic' components of the poop are consumed (in various ways) leaving the inorganic stuff behind. However, dogs eat less bone nowadays, and dog poop gets picked up rather than left by dogs owners now too, hence less white poop**
