Thought I'd share a few more from the birthday party last weekend, including one of Rachel and George taken before we left for the party: .

George eats hair
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 Mummy and Daddy enjoyed some spring rolls and some chicken wrapped in pandan leaf, while George enjoyed some rice crackers (he seemed to enjoy them). I didn't take my camera, but got this one of George eating his Mummy's hair just after we came home in the afternoon (I took it on my phone). .
.
I did however have my camera when we got home, and managed to take this photo of a rather gorgeous sunset. Sunsets are coming a lot earlier these days - winter is almost upon us (for me that's a good thing, but Rachel doesn't like it as much). That said, it was a mid 20 degree Celsius day to day - doesn't feel like winter at all...

A few photos from Hugo and Sophia's party
George attended another birthday party yesterday. This one was at a lovely park that we had never been to before - a few minutes up the road from The Peak. It was a lovely afternoon, and George had great fun playing with his mates, eating random plastic toys, and munching on grass. A thoroughly relaxing and lovely afternoon - and certainly a park that we'll be visiting again now that the weather is coming right. .

Going, going... gone.

Good morning!

A tiring weekend for the Bunkmeister
The weekend is almost over, and it was a busy one for Bunky. Yesterday he had a bit of a Saturday morning swing session, before an afternoon with Daddy (while Mummy went shopping and doing errands). Not really much photowise, but here is a shot from the swing time:

We had a quiet night - I watched the rugby with Cam while Rachel and George shot downstairs for the building's Halloween Party (George went as "a small child trying not to wear a shark-shaped hat").
Today we had brunch at Cam and Carolin's - had a great time, and George was in full "show off" mode when it came to his crawling. He also ate like a waste disposal unit, and managed to polish off a few baby-sized muffins after his lunch. Little piglet.
Finally, today we went down to the monthly Pokfulam Market with Alice, Harry and little Michael (the only child in Hong Kong with hair more awesome than George's). If the weather isn't too hot, then the Market presents a nice chance to lie on the grass and enjoy a bit of food and drink under the sun. There were loads of people there this afternoon (certainly more than usual - the slightly milder weather might have pushed the numbers up), and I managed to take quite a few photos of our little group:
.
Harry, Michael, and some delicious sunflare

Clockwise: Harry with the boys, George with "Sophie La Giraffe", Alice with Michael and Harry
.
George the Phrenologist examining his friend Mikey (a different Michael with far less hair)
.
Clockwise from top left: Alice, Harry and Michael, Rachel with George, Michael looking angry

That's all from the weekend. It certainly was nice to be taking photos outside for a change. Unfortunately the weather is still pretty warm despite it being November (it's usually perfect weather around now, but it's still rather hot under the sun at the moment), but still - it was nice to be outside all afternoon.

Mr Crawly Gigglypants
Mummy's day off today, so it's off to Stanley for a date with Keira. Anyway, a few photos from this morning:
Apparently turning taps on and off is hilarious
.
Investigating the wooden Black Cab that Keira gave him

And even more weekend photos
A couple of random photos:
What on earth could be keeping George transfixed during his ordinarily boisterous dinnertime?
.
A romantic long distance dinner date with his UK girlfriend Bella of course
.
Some good times with visiting Aunty Sarah...
.
...and some grumpy times
.
And finally some quiet time with Rachel (woah - check out Bunky's knee-fat)

A few random long weekend photos
We've had an up and down weekend - Raspy McCoughypants had a tough Saturday, but seems to have shaken off the worst of his chest gloop. He's in pretty awesome spirits, and as I type this he's fast asleep (touch wood - last night he screamed from 10pm to 11pm). He's had a full on weekend so far, with brunch at the Press Room on Saturday morning and then Sam B's birthday party today. Tomorrow's junk trip has been cancelled, but seeing as this weekend is "Grave Sweeping" weekend, we'll still try and get out somewhere (our street is next to the cemetery and looks like Disneyland on Grave Sweeping days. I've got some random photos - I've got a pile more (especially of Sarah K and Bunky yesterday), but here are the ones I've had a pick through so far:
A sight we need to get used to - Bunky wandering the lounge and dining floor area.

George and Rachel observing pass-the-parcel at Sam's party

The boys asleep in the spare room. Seriously, I don't know how Ben sleeps like that.
