JFGP is pictured here enjoying a scrumptious plate of roast chicken and all of the trimmings, cooked by his Dad. What the photo doesn’t show is that after this mouthful he announced that he was full and got down from the table to go and play with his train set. A small parent/child disagreement ensued.

Stormy Weather
The weather has been a little wintery in Sydney recently. At the weekend we rugged up JFGP and Elli before heading out to face the elements. Because it can get awfully rough at Warringah Mall. Now who was it who told me that the sun was always shining down under? I’d like a word.
A Boy’s First Haircut
He’s nearly two, but today was JFGP‘s first haircut. I took him to Kids Central in Chatswood as they are used to small people fidgeting their way through the whole experience. Apart from a dislike of the cape they made him wear he was as good as gold. He was too busy watching the water …
Bed Time Routine
Before bed each evening Alexander enjoys some traditional warm milk and, slightly more unconventionally, a few crackers. More importantly I’ve just bought a new lens which is well suited to taking portraits. This is the first of what may be a long and illustrious line. If you’re really lucky I may even include other subjects.
A Portrait
I’ve been taking a photography course at evening school recently. This morning I was out at Dee Why beach learning a few practical lessons. I put some of them to use this afternoon with a couple of shots at Balmoral beach. This shot is taken at the fish shop whilst we were waiting for our …
Boy in a Bed
Alex is moving up in the world. Here’s a picture of him relaxing in his newly installed bed. Of course he’s also confused because we haven’t taken the cot down. So now he doesn’t know where to snooze and just thinks that this is a new play couch.
Action Toddler
It’s been a while since we’ve had a photo of the day. Not only that, but there hasn’t been one taken by SWMBO. Today I’m addressing both of those deficiences with this shot of the boy wonder taken at Clontarf last weekend. I was standing in the background issuing the usual macho challenge of "Scream …
Project Fish Part 2
SWMBO was very firm. Very firm indeed. We were getting four fish for the aquarium. No more, and certainly no less. Which is why there are five goldfish swimming around in it now.
Gardening Dilemmas
Those who know me know that my fingers aren’t very green. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve neglected a large number of plants over the years and my gardening skills are limited to hacking at the grass with a mower or a strimmer. In an effort to cultivate my, err, love of botany …
Boy in a Hat
After a short interlude the daily photo is back. Here’s JFGP enjoying a quick coffee at a cafe in Manly. If he doesn’t get his daily caffeine fix he can be a right bugger.
