My friends little baby, Liam. What a lovely boy, even though he decided to poop on me..... He is also like a mini hulk and very hard to hang on to, I was over powered by him haha!
Bit of a battle between the shallow depth of field at f1.8 and needing to let enough light in the camera. Also bounced the flash off the ceiling for extra light but didn't want it too strong for his wee eyes.
Enjoying the baby photography, hoping some more of my friends get pregnant! Get to it guys!! :-)
Rob spends almost the entire day in his sports gear - his 'special leggings' crack me up. He's still in his sports gear at night. We watch Survivor and eat quesadillas.

Grrrr. I am just getting into my summer holidays and it pours with rain. Spend the day at Mum's. Lie on her bed and watch 'Due Date'.

Okay, I may have been casting around for any old photo subject on this particular evening, but also: I hadn't expected boots with a zip to work as well as they do. I mean, I've worn them long enough that I'm at risk of wearing the soles out, and I thought the zip would have gotten loose or worn or something already, but nope, the zips are fine.
Icrontic's Photo-a-Day Challenge, 8/1/09: "Epic Fail or Epic Win" - I chose a photo to represent "Epic Fail"
Sorry, more house pictures. We got home late last night after a dog walking adventure to find that our house is very open plan now.
Ryan has feigned "disinterest in sports" as a reason for not going bowling for almost two years. I think the beer, deluxe nachos, and two wins cured that.
Get an early start on our trip to Hamilton. It's a grey, gloomy and misty drive but we make it there in plenty of time. Attend Rob's classes with him - it's a fun blast from the past and the campus is so much prettier than Victoria's.

I ordered a poster representing The Oatmeal's very informative coffee comic, which arrived today and is now in a frame but not yet on the wall.
I spent a day living the life of a digital nomad, working in public spaces around Bournemouth.
I started off in Coffee Republic because I'd heard they offered free wifi.
Technically yes, they provide free wifi... for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you have to pay. Sod that. So I worked offline for a while with my laptop plugged in to get as charged up as possible before moving off to my favourite place to sit (other than Room 2 of the Marlins Hotel, which has totally become a home away from home) in Bournemouth - the cafe at the top of Dingles/House of Fraser. Yes, it's not at all cool and is usually full of old folks, but that's part of its charm, along with the incredible view which just seems to inspire me every time I spend time there.
There was no wifi there, but I was in the working offline groove and got quite a lot done before the sun got too bright to be able to work effectively and it was time to move on to my third location of the day.
Sixty Million Postcards is the kind of pub I wish was my local. It's got a great atmosphere and lots of great events organised.
I got there, got inside, got into the groove and then, before I knew it, it was time to head back home to London.
I'm going back to Bournemouth for a couple more days this week, possibly for the last time, so I'll be making the most of these places and when I'm back in London after my holiday, I'll be looking for places locally that give the same kind of feel (albeit without the sea view) because I really am coming to realise that it's much better for me when I get out and about.
