frog in a box

Monday 02 Jan 06

kezia has a fantastic frog in a box spring thing. capturing it in motion is a bit of challenge, so i was quite please with the picture above

poor old esther came out in chicken pox on new year’s eve-eve and she’s just entered the horrible itchy stage. to ease the itchyness jane dropped a cold spoon down esther’s dressing gown.

the success of this small action lead to an escalation to a packet of frozen peas.

poor old esther. no doubt kezia is next in line.

xmas lunch #7 – the final version

Monday 02 Jan 06

yesterday was our final xmas lunch featuring jane’s sister’s family and her parents.

for a while it looked like this would be the only photo i’d have of the period around midnight

(i was the only willing subject i had left)

cousins

Sunday 01 Jan 06

here are cousin thomas and his cousin kezia (not to be confused with his imaginary friend ‘kezia’) out walking in Burnham Beeches. it’s a great place, so you must go.

i like the fact it’s run by the Corporation of London which sounds very ‘industrial revolution’.

double lock

Sunday 01 Jan 06

this isn’t really a padlock, but i’ve put it in the category anyway. it is a double fence lock, openable in either direction from either side. good stuff.
