some random photos

top photo was taken last night (rachel scratching poppy's tummy) and the other three were taken on saturday night when I wandered down to sandy bay at dusk to take photos after day 1 of the social cricket tournament.

saturday morning

nothing quite as nice as waking up to find a kitten purring softly under the duvet next to you... went to a japanese restaurant with cam and carolin last night, then hit the bond movie. japanese was umami @ cyberport (cyberport being a soul and charisma-free fake neighbourhood around the corner from where we live - and it's where i work).  food was really rather good and after i busted out several pages of vouchers (oh the benefits of working in the middle of nowhere) it was pretty good value too.

the bond movie was awesome (new bond girl might be entering the narly-top-5) even though i really didn't know what was going on for most of it.  action sequences were brilliant, although at times the product placement could have been perhaps a little more subtle - range rover and virgin atlantic certainly got their moeny's worth.

wandering out to discovery bay today to see lisa's jewellery exhibition and to catch up with sue, steve, helen and pete for a spot of afternoon tea (very civilised, i say old chap).  then back to central to catch mark and emma for a bit of dinner somewhere and then i'll park myself in front of the television to watch the nz v england rugby game.  miracle of miracles, it's being shown in hong kong.

here's popstar this morning in our bed:

little frederick cary

we had a great video chat with jonathan and laura last night and got to meet little freddie cary - what a cute little fella!  laura looks great and jonathan looks stoked with daddyhood - and the little guy looks as cute as a button.  i have taken the liberty of pilfering some photos from his website, i know he won't mind:

on other matters, i survived through two hours of breastfeeding talk and videos at antenatal class last night.  it was actually informative and quite useful, although it would appear that if we give little Spawn of Narly formula milk, all three of us along with our families, friends and people that we meet at the bus stop will be struck down with the plague or the black lung, and then get run over by trucks.

or something like that.

liam

just thought i'd post an old photo that i only just got around to editing - a lovely little shot of liam (simon and kirsty's little guy, twin of paige).  this was taken at our place earlier this year.
