James - aged 6 weeks

heya everyone

well, this time it was bathtime for his weekly progress picture update! he cried a great deal at bath time to begin with, but now he seems to love it. having a bath does tend to help settle him for the night!

otherwise, Michele went for a check-up at the doctor today. many of you will be undoubtedly thrilled to learn that, apparently, her spleen is in the right place. i had no idea that it was under threat of movement, so there you go.

James also went on a shopping excursion with Mummy & Granny today. i believe they had some Wimpy too, lucky things!

as we are at the six week stage, James earlier this week had the dubious pleasure of having certain necessary innoculation injections - he cried for about a minute afterwards, but was soon fine again. i shall be crying for quite some time no doubt - i set up some investments for young Napoleon today. will cost a bit month by month, but it means that when he hits 18 (2023!!!!!), we should be able to send him on his way to buy some wheels and set him on his way to University. he can buy his old man a pint if he is feeling generous, i guess.

ho hum, probably loads of other things to speak of, but they have escaped my mind right now. oh yeah, some film reviews :

King Kong : not as bad as i expected, but nothing happens for an hour and it is still just Jurassic Park with an absolutely enormous monkey stuck on it.

Hostel : looked ace, woefully disappointing. for an 88 minute film with a really warped plot, it manages to drag its feet and be very dull and combersome.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang : saw it again. it is still a most excellent film.

i am sure there is something else i/we watched but have forgotten about. i guess that is a review of whatever it was in itself.

be excellent to each other!!
