What's Doing

JFGP had a little accident. He was on holiday with his Mum and his little brother and managed to take a tumble. They were camping just north of Newcastle and it had been raining – quite a lot. The assembled small people were playing in the playground at the camp site and number 1 son [...]

Here are our subjects at the start of the calendar year. New Year for us is at the beginning of the long summer holiday from school so I think we can say that the boys are relaxed. This picture was taken on the first “Dad day” of the holidays. This is where I and two [...]

This is our official family photo for 2011. If I was witty and eloquent I would accompany it with an annual family message. But I can’t compete with Mil Millington. So go and read his message for a few wry smiles. I will let you into a little secret about this year’s photo. I had [...]

In a first, at least recently, here is the November photo of our two subjects actually published in the month of November. You probably won’t notice a lot of difference since last month but a variation in dress and expression is at least worth an extra picture. November is always a quiet month here. Spring [...]

I know it’s November, but I’m playing catch up. Somewhere between watching the Rugby World Cup, paying scant attention to the bin lids and working a little bit too much there doesn’t seem to have been much time to curate my photos. But I’m catching up. Slowly. Here is the formal picture of two small [...]

Please ignore the small boy behind the curtain. But if this works I may be moving my photos. More later, or not as the fancy takes me. On the off chance that anyone is still reading this collection of ramblings could you let me know by email or in the comments below if you can’t [...]

A special double month bonanza in this post. First, we have two small boys from July, otherwise known as the birthday month. We had quite a busy time with 2 parties to (in my case) attend. MIGO’s was first, even though his birthday is later, and we enjoyed a couple of quiet hours at AMF [...]

The new car has arrived. I think it looks marvellous, and everyone who has walked past has stopped to take a look. And definitely not to snigger. There has been no sniggering. It’s been named the orange taxi for two reasons. The first is rather obvious but the second is because it’s the first diesel [...]

In a special shot from Aunty Lorna’s wedding to Uncle Richard here are two small boys in their outfits for this special occasion. The addition of the top shoes was my idea, apparently that makes me a style guru. They had a great time with their cousins and the rest of the family who gathered [...]

We have made it to April, 2011. Here are two boys showing off the two uniforms from Manly West. JFGP on the left is wearing the normal school uniform of blue polo shirt and grey shorts, complete with attractive grey socks. His brother MIGO is wearing the sports uniform. This is, as you can see, [...]
