The "Where's my toast?" look
A feast of weekend photos (of varying quality)
The weekend started with a bang - George visited my office and was manhandled and photographed by everyone who came near him. He coped admirably - here's a quick one I took of him with Suki (my secretary):
.
Saturday morning we headed to Wagyu - a restaurant in town which apparently did pretty good brunch too. It was really good and great value, and even George quite enjoyed himself (he had home made bolognaise courtesy of his mummy). Here is a fairly blurry photo of Bunky making a bit of noise on Rachel's knee:
Check out the teeth- they're really starting to show now. He doesn't seem overly bothered by them though.
As I walked into the restaurant, I was struggling with the stroller (minus George, who was already inside) and trying to get up their front step. A Hong Kong princess was also going in, and I moved aside to let her through. Her thanks to me was to then let the door close in my face and on the stroller.
Thankfully, Karma took over, and 45 minutes later (much to my amusement) she was still sitting alone, waiting for her tablemates. Sucker. I took a photo of the princess so that I could savour the moment at a later date:
.
This made me laugh too - a bus advertisement for English tutors (who reportedly pull in about a million HK per month). You'd think the English tutors might have proofed their ad:

And a photo of his lordship and his driver on the way back to the car:

On Sunday we decided to get out and about and ended up at the Peak for a walk. Not the greatest weather (lots of pollution), but I got a few photos of Bunky and his driver:
.
And finally... post dinner shenanigans: face painting with banana and yogurt.

Dear George, One day you'll be very happy that the second photo was out of focus

Pre-meltdown bubble appreciation

Pre-bath shenanigans. Kiddo, you are sooooooo lucky this is out of focus
Delicious toast with Vegemite
Bathtime meltdown
We had a bit of a meltdown in the bath. His majesty didn't get his sleep this afternoon (except for a short one in the car), so our bubble blowing was greeted with screams and quivering bottom lips. Before that he was all good...
The Challis Family are very good looking
Typhoon morning
The HK Observatory called a Typhoon 8 last night, which meant that we got to come home early (to play with George), and since it's still in force, we go to work late. It'll be lifted in another 40 minutes, but then everyone gets about two hours to get to work (it takes a while for buses and taxis to get going again). Although I walk to work, I might take a sneaky extra half hour with George... Here are a few photos from this morning:
.
A few other photos from around and about. Firstly, the cats find safety in numbers. And Ben's fat tummy provides ample warmth for Poppy:
.
This one from the real estate agency next to the supermarket. I think they're trying to say that the market is hot at the moment, but they probably should have avoided using an online translator:
.
And finally this one from our pool area. There was a gale force wind blowing when I took it, plus I was laughing at the time:
Aaaaaaah... aaaaah... BOO!
Apologies for the fuzzy focus - I shot this with Philip's D90, and with digital SLR cameras, filming video is done with manual focus. Let's just pretend that I was being arty.
