James at 10 weeks

hey everyone

sorry for the delay in these pics, but as you can see below there were some rather urgent Chuck Norris images that needed to be published here.

as you can see, James was just out of the bath when these were taken. i particularly like the 1st one, in which he is doing a class Butters impression with his eyes!!

be excellent to each other!!!

for Mervin Fraser

hey everyone

here are some most excellent jeans being advertised. thanks very much to Matt for the full action one!!!

the James / Napoleon picture updates will resume soon!

and now it's KING King Monkey

friends, family, casual browsers and music lovers

i am delighted to announce that IAN BROWN has won the GODLIKE GENIUS award at the NME awards today.

there should be more and more awards given to IAN BROWN on a regular basis.

stop reading this and go and listen to some of his music. NOW.

be excellent to each other. worship ian brown.

The Christening Party

hey all

here's a picture of the "Christening Party", for want of a better term!! other than those you know, pictured here are Larne, the minister who performed the service (and indeed married Michele & I), godparents Richard and Erika (Erika is hiding at the back), godparents Duncan ("Spiros") and Linda, and their young one, Falco (also called Robbie).

quite a great day!!

be excellent to each other!!

nine weeks

hey everyone

well, so many pics to choose from, but here's a good one for him aged nine weeks. i am not at all sure if he will have the misery of being a Boro fan too, but he looks smart in the outfit that his Uncle Colin, Aunty Angela and Christopher & Andrew (no idea what relation!) got him!

hope all is well in your world!

be excellent to each other!

family portrait

hey everyone

well, the usual weekly update pic of James will follow soon, but this pic was taken on the Thursday anyway, and as it is my birthday (and James was Christened today!), i have decided that i would rather put this one up right now!

in the spirit of my birthday, for what it means, take it as an excuse to be excellent to each other!!!!!!

Uncle Mervin

and here is Napoleon with his Uncle Mervin. the two seem to get along well!

to understand more about Uncle Mervin, click on his name above the pictures and you should be transported to his all time favourite webpage.

be excellent to each other!!

James visits Daddy's verk

on friday, young Napoleon, along with Mummy, Gran and Great Gran, popped into the office for a cup of tea and a sing song at my office. all seem to love Napoleon to bits, and it would be fair to say that he is (quite rightly) more popular than i am with everyone!!

i think someone else has more pictures, but here are what i have on my camera! there is another post with someone else to follow this one.......

James at 8 weeks

hey everyone

well, we (ie Michele) could not pick just one picture of James for the usual weekly update, so here's a series of the lad in his rather smart new bouncy chair thing that Grandma R got him.

James is doing well, daddy not quite so well. i seem to have some sort of cold/flu thing on the go. as it is not bird flu, it isn't particularly interesting and thus i will just try and get rid of it!

otherwise, i personally slept through Aeon Flux this week. take that review as you wish!

hope all is well with you!

be excellent to each other!!!!

7 weeks already!!

hey everyone

here's James enjoying seven weeks with his Grandma and his Great Grandma, the latter having come all the way from England to see her two Great-Grandchildren. nice one!!
