esther’s birthday party

esther turned 6 on saturday and had her party yesterday. fantastically the miserable weather of the last few weeks had turned in to beautiful sunshine so they could have the party tea outside.
quite lukcy if you’ve got 19 kids at the party !

tony the official archivist

tony agreed to be the official archivist for esther’s birthday. about half way through the party he disappeared. i found him asleep on the sofa.
i bet spielberg never has that trouble.

two andies

here are andy and andy. andy is the one on the right.
both andies are funkypancake readers. andy reads it because i set it as his default homepage on his browser last week and now gets a daily dose.
andy, meanwhile, has been a reader for a while.
here they are with a bin bag to clear up party tea rubbish.

what am i doing ?

i’m doing something very important at esther’s birthday party, but what is it ? those who were there (including tony who took this photo) aren’t allowed to answer.

party popping

here is a random photo.
i was trying to take a picture of esther’s facial expression as she pulled on her party popper string in a restaurant. just as i took the photo she managed to pull the trigger string and it exploded upwards.
you can see the sparks from the explosion on the right hand side and the streamers and tube covering flying up in front of her.

violence

we had a band practice at a church last night (not the one we go to). when we arrived i spotted this rose. i later found out it was probably from a funeral that had gone on earlier.

unfortunately during our practice our car got broken in to (but nothing got stolen). in the scale of the things it’s no big deal, but it’s still a pain phoning insurance companies/window repairers/police report rooms late at night.
what a week !
