...draws breath....

Yeah, its been nearly a month - I know.

Have given into the guilt and a vague yearning to post stuff for your amusement today.

I'm back over in Surbiton for one night only, to blog and generally fanny about. So, here's the latest pics taken of my Summer so far.

All signposts lead to Sandy Balls (heh, heh, heh!). New Forest in July 2010


My friend Steve does his best Dr Livingstone impression.. taken from my previous blog..

My niece, Ella. At the age of 9 months she has the 'we are not amused' expression of her mother. A formidable character in the making.. already.

X and friend enjoy an ice cream larger than usually allowed. A day out that fired up the imagination of both diners! Saturday 28th August 2010

X takes on the sea at Brighton with his usual determination 30/8/10

So there's a selection: Family, old friends and a glassy eyed looking African explorer. There was a frenetic film of a battle royale between pipe cleaner animals filmed this weekend, but that will follow soon. I can tell you're intrigued..

Life rattles on at its usual breakneck pace. I'm ready for Autumn now myself, I plan some changes by year end and the prospect of them gives me heart. My highlight was collapsing in the Horatio Inn on Brighton Pier between arcade sessions with Ellen and X. In his absence the latter had weighed me down with the usual which young children chose to 'delegate' to you: rucksack full of swimming stuff and Ribena, dad hat (sunburn on my head is a new pleasure I now enjoy), foam sword and Ben 10 truck. You know, the sort of thing that screams 'Parent!' or 'Special Needs!' Gave me a chuckle, that..
