as had become traditional, jane’s parents came over last night for our annual pancake party

jane made the mixture

and then we got down to the business

i create chaos by taking photos in continuous mode with my external flash on, causing blindness to anyone in the same room

jane’s dad was particularly surprised by my approach and use it as an excuse to do a particularly elaborate setup

his throw was a great visual success.  the picture below is the catch part of the manoeuvre.  the throw bit is the picture at the top of this post

jane’s mum threw a smaller pancake.  can you spot it ?

having got her eye in she then went for some more complicated shaped ones

we did actually eat them (but not me due to egg allergyness)

even esther had a go

and of course jane did too.

one thing worth noting is the difference in our kitchen since we’ve had our extension.  above is this year (now with extra space to the right).  below is last year (viewed from the other way round)

focus on imaging

090222_350d_img_4743.jpg

i went to the nec yesterday for the focus on imaging show.  was jolly good.  at one point i had to pretend (for modelling purposes) to be this lady’s husband.  that will explain any dubious images which appear on flickr etc.

always worth getting your excuses in early

man boobs

this is the picture on the front of the kids fun pack at tgi friday.  upside down it looked like the chap surfing had rather large man boobs.  they looked a little less extreme the other way up !

we’ve had quite a social few days – jane’s sister and family stayed for a few days and last night we went to our god-daughter’s birthday party at tgi friday.  very good it was too

a walk in a wood

we went geocaching yesterday in a wood.  we got a bit lost (missed a footpath turning), but found 6/9 and saw some great things.  like this weird metal statue (click on the picture to see the word reflected in its globe).
