seagulls
seagulls and eagles are actually different words. i’ve tried explaining that to kezia but she won’t listen. perhaps it’s me that’s got it wrong. it wouldn’t be the first time i’ve got very confused on such things.
a daddy / kezia day
kezia and i went to henley yesterday to get out of the house whilst esther stayed at home being itchy with her ‘chicken plops’ (as kezia calls it – she knows what it’s really called but thinks the word ‘plop’ is quite funny. which it is).
we went to the ‘toad house’ which is the Wind In The Willows exhibit that we went to before. kezia stops being 3 in a few weeks time so we’re taking to everything that’s free for 3 year olds and under whilst we can ! Actually, this was her choice anyway.
slippery landing place
bird lovers are funny old people. some are even funny young people. they’ve even put up signs to warn them that their landing places might be a bit slippery
if they are slippery then they’ve only got themselves to blame.
and what is a landing stag anyway ?
long lost keith
i bumped in to keith and his wife in henley yesterday. i haven’t seen keith in yonks so it was great to have a speedy catchup.
this picture isn’t the most flatering ever, but at least proves i saw him !

frog in a box
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
chicken pox
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
yesterday was our final xmas lunch featuring jane’s sister’s family and her parents.
christmas cracker toys this year have been very good. yesterday jane’s mum got a water pistol which she promptly loaded and fired at all present. not to be outdone jane’s dad quickly loaded his gun (using her glass of water)
an experienced water gun handler if ever there was one
and once it was all over, kevin sat alone with napster trying to find boney m
seeing new year in
in my thanks to you the blog reader, i didn’t thank jane my wife for allowing me the endless hours i’ve put in to funkypancake over the last [insert number here] of months.
jane’s patience with me isn’t limitless of course and i went too far on new year’s eve by taking photos as we rolled over in to the new year.
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
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’.
