I cannot think of a title for this entry

. A collection of iPhone photos from Sunday - we wandered down to the grassy area at Cyberport and let Bunky tear around and eat grass (the usual routine).  Ok, so maybe not a lot of grass eaten this time - the focus was on teaching him to go down the little concrete steps backwards.  He's still not crash hot at it, but he's getting there:

And one for the "Only in Hong Kong" file.  This "cordoned off" area was just outside the supermarket. I did look up at the ceiling to see if there was a leak or something, but nope - nothing out of the ordinary up there.  The mind boggles at the thought process of whoever set up this cordon:

The local English language newspaper prints Pooch Cafe - it's a great little comic strip that I only discovered when I arrived in Hong Kong in 2004.   Anyway, the latest comic was brilliant...

.

.

...particularly if you realised where the dialogue came from:

.

Inigo: I do not suppose you could a-speed things up?

Dread Pirate Roberts: If you're in such a hurry, you could lower a rope or a tree branch or find something useful to do.

Inigo: I could do that. I still got some rope up here, but I do not think you would accept my help, since I am only waiting around to kill you.

Dread Pirate Roberts: That does put a damper on our relationship.

Inigo: I swear, on the soul of my father, Domingo Montoya, you will reach the top alive.

Dread Pirate Roberts: Throw me the rope.

.

Indeed - today's strip was a wonderful little tribute to the awesome 1987 movie, The Princess Bride.

More visitors, more photos

Michael and Andres came to visit us for a few days - they arrived on Wednesday (kicking Katy and Sam out in the process) and left about half an hour ago.  We had a great time catching up with them, and they seemed to enjoy their time in Hong Kong (I assume they weren't lying about it...) We took them to one of our favourite places, Bistro Manchu in Elgin St, Soho - great food as always:

Crikey the food at this place is good

We were going to go for a bit of a wander around the streets, but Rachel suggested that we all head up the Peak Tram to try and get a look at the city.  Although the tram ride was awesome (it's the world's steepest incline for a cable car), the city was shrouded in a thick fog - and we saw pretty much nothing...

Walking through the deserted wet market on the way to the tram.  That's Andres in the foreground, with Rachel and Michael just ahead of him.

Andres' reflection in the window of the tram on the way up

.

The fog at the Peak was ridiculous - Michael, Rachel and Andres were about 5 metres from me when I took this photo

.

.

Not a lot else really - George coped admirably with the second wave of visitors and happily destroyed any Lego towers that Michael or Andres dared to build.

.

Naturally, I'll leave you with a few photos of his majesty:

.

Storytime with Rachel.  Note the super casual crossed legs.

.

He still hasn't worked out how to get into the kitchen, thank goodness.

Under the couch | Dancing Paddy

Katy and Sam arrived on Saturday afternoon and George wasted no time in making Sam the "go to guy" for getting his toys out from under the couch: .

And now, just because I can... I give you "Dancing Paddy on a Swiss Ball" (I have maintained a level of pixelation in order to protect the innocent):
