Day 78!
Celebrated mothers day by bungee jumping off here today, what better way to do it than have your mother watch you fall towards the ground?
This is Bubo my lucky owl. I've had him for many many years. He was my lucky charm for exams in my school days, and lost all his copper plating while living in my school blazer pocket. I had a dream about him (several of him, really) last night, so he seems a good photo subject for today.
Meeting Asta for the first time.

"Domenik"
This is my baby boy, Domenik. He is 1 year old and is the apple of my eye (along with his two brothers and sister ;)) I had to do a "sitting" with him today to get some shots for a facebook baby comp he has got through to the final round on - I had 1 hour to dress and shoot him... talk about last minute!!! Nappy brain had set in hehehe
These are two wild elephants enjoying the banks of the lake at Kabini, in the middle of a huge nature reserve.
Today I played as a sub for the white team in this ball hockey league organized by Howard Billerman (aka former drummer of Arcade Fire). I don't know how much of a league it is and how much it's just the same 2 teams playing two games against each other every Saturday.
I am incredibly out of shape and was very ashamed of how short my shifts lasted... I don't like playing team sports and feeling like I'm not contributing, but the reality is that some of these guys are really good and I havent done anything close to physical activity for years...
Which makes it all the more surprising that I scored a goal in the second game! I was playing right wing and I just one-timed a shot into top left corner.. maybe my muscle memory remembers something after all.
There's a spot for me to play every week with the white team if I want it, but I don't know if I do or not yet. It's fun b/c the guys are all really nice and my 2 bosses Hil and Dan both play but I think generally I prefer womens leagues to coed playing. Tomorrow I might show up for a game of anarchist soccer in parc Laurier.. we'll see how that goes!
(yes apparently they take a team photo of both teams at the end of every single game haha)
Almost set te apt ablaze yesterday by forgetting my waffle. Words cannot express how dumb I feel and thankful that nothing horrible happened.
We have to leave traces for future generations so they know the kinds of people we were. Or we need to invite some Camel smokers over.

Strings of lights hanging from trees along the road by a park in Chennai, where a cultural festival thing was going on on our first evening there.
Pippin and Ele's (and James's) joint birthday part in Corpus. The theme was "punk", as in Steam punk, Atom punk etc. Pippin had just temporarily borrowed those platform boots from someone else there, and they were awesome :-)
A lovely quiet Saturday night at home watching the All Blacks and eating Indian takeaways.
