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.

The little man just before his bath tonight

Weekend photos

We jumped on the Star Ferry with the Binningtons yesterday, and although Bunky was feeling a little under the weather (and still is), we had a great time and he even managed a 90 minute snooze while we lunched at Mark and Emma's. Last night was Diwali night, and our building had its usual Indian buffet and drinks downstairs - delicious.  Not a late night, but oooomph I was full by the time we left. Today has been a quiet one, as Bunky is still pretty clogged up and grumpy.  Hopefully he'll be over it in a few days.

Anyway, a few photos from the weekend so far:

.

The boys spending the afternoon in the stereo cabinet (it provides valuable warmth to their butts). The little NEC modem is what beams low quality, overly censored, five year old substandard television programmes chock full of ridiculous advertisements straight to our television.  Ah, technology.

Rachel and George outside the TST Star Ferry terminal

This morning, just before I woke him from his post-breakfast nap

.

Enjoying his delicious nectarine

.

He's either concentrating on complicated maths problems, or filling his nappy. You guess which.

Fort Bunky, Fat Ben

A few photos from today - firstly Fort Bunky. A complicated arrangement of cushions and pillows designed to prevent him from falling off the bed while we get changed in the morning: .

Next, a little bit of Fat Ben - happily snoozing away in the lounge.  Seriously, this is how he sleeps:

.

Also, I tweaked the website behind the scenes - now iPhone / iPod Touch / Google Android people will see a mobile-optimised version of the site. I don't think I needed to do it, but it was quick, easy and free. So I figured I may as well do it.  The website will look a bit like this - but at the bottom you'll have the option to view the site in its normal format:

.

I've also tried to turn on comments for individual posts.  I'm still ironing out some kinks, but the comment boxes should be under all new posts from now on. Use them wisely (Note that the very first comment you leave on the site automatically goes into a moderation queue - after that first "approved" comment, your comments show up straight away).

The cat in the hat (box)

I was cleaning out the hat box this afternoon (it's home to a lot of my gadgets and cords), when Ben rocked along and decided to "help"

.

A mixed bag

A strange mix of photos:  One of Ben asleep on the couch this morning, one of Bunky wearing his now obligatory blueberry facemask, and one from Kennedy Town (taken from the car):

Friday morning photos

Featuring the photography-neglected kittens:

A few photos from bathtime tonight

...and a random one that was on the memory card from this morning. The view from our spare room (looking out over Lamma Island).  That's Ben in the foreground:

Cheap props, feline supervision

Have changed the format of the website so that I can upload slightly larger photos of the little monkey.  Still a few tweaks to do, but for the most part everything should be working fine.  The contact page has disappeared, but I'll reupload it soon. A few photos from this morning - Rachel finished a roll of wrapping paper, and Bunky decided to hone his Jedi skills with the empty roll.  Ben looked on unimpressed.
