Kristine asked me what the “Valley of Death” was, and in the absence of photographic evidence, I turned to the wonders of MS Paint to show her:

I know, I know – I am a supremely talented artist. Signed copies are available on request (they’ll be worth a lot one day, especially after I’m dead… which...
For someone who understands virtually nothing about politics (I still get policies of the Left and Right confused), I have a morbid fascination for elections. Maybe I just like bashing the “refresh” button on webpages – who knows.
Anyway, as I was following the running tallies of the UK elections on the internet (as I type...
A few years ago I stumbled across an unknown album in my laptop’s music library. I was searching for an album (I can’t actually remember what, perhaps it was Missy Elliot) and found an album by a random lady called Missy Higgins.
I assume that one of our visitors dropped it onto my hard drive as...
One of George’s favourite books is the Little Yellow Digger. Needless to say, the word “Digger” features about a thousand times, and George absolutely loves it:

Yesterday, munchkin grabbed the book, then started crawlthrowing towards Rachel (he can’t hold a book and crawl at the same time, so he crawlthrows – crawl a bit, throw the...

The local English language newspaper prints Pooch Cafe – it’s a great little comic strip that I only discovered when I arrived in Hong Kong in 2004. Anyway, the latest comic was brilliant…

Rachel took this photo of the little man this morning – it seems he has developed a bit of a crush… on himself:

And on a completely unrelated note, I stumbled across this graphic this morning. Having sat through annoying unskippable (loud) movie previews and pointless FBI warnings many, many times over the last few years,...
It got a bit cold today – there’s a cold snap that will apparently last until early next week. Just how cold was it? You should have asked Poppycat this morning:

And on a completely different subject (one that annoys Rachel), I discovered an application for my phone that does something absolutely unique and awesome to...
A few photos from the morning routine of the Bunkmeister. Firstly, his mummy decided that his eating was getting a little bit… how do we say… “animated”, and his clothes were coming off pretty badly after mealtimes (especially mealtimes involving sauces). An afternoon trip to Ikea yielded a number of new mass-produced and flatpacked Swedish...
A few completely random photos from my phone:

I took this in near darkness – it’s Ben and Poppy on the back of our couch. Surely this can’t be comfortable for poor little squashed Pop?

I couldn’t resist – this is from one of the toilets of the Cathay Pacific plane we flew on over the weekend....
We had a lovely afternoon – after George’s sleep and video Skype session with his grandmother, we went to the South side of the island and walked from Deepwater Bay to Repulse Bay (a pretty easy 25 minute stroll along the waterfront). On the way back we stopped at the wonderful Coco Thai Restaurant, where...
