Weekend out

I took two days off last week and we took the ferry across to Macau and spent three and a half days in the pool, and the rest on the black volcanic beach between where we were staying and this . How is the sea hey? Brown mud - literally - a super-silty thing. I love the colours from a picture point of view, though of course would personally prefer to swim in something blue and crystal-clear. There's a lot of reflected light off dark wet surfaces though, so you have to get more perpendicular to it to get an idea of how dark the sand really is - which you can see from the pic of Aiden drawing in the sand - so marry that to a caramel brown sea and a blue sky with white clouds and it really is a great tapestry to be walking around in. In the pic of Aiden's cool dude pose you can see nothing in the sky because I had to meter on his face to get any detail there - otherwise just an outline. The small pic below is a much much nicer one the truth be told, but it lacked the look for the t-shirt I'm afraid. Ev is at the super-dangerous water phase at the moment - which is good and bad. Good, because I think he's close to learning how to swim, bad because some part of me thinks he thinks he can already; so you've really got to keep an eye on him at all time. He's such a scream; terribly earnest and focused on what he's doing. He has a pair of those eye-socket-sucking goggles, but with the goggle part a circle inside a wide open shark mouth - so you have these two sharks on either side of his face with big toothy mouths around each eye - which he really likes, because Ev likes big and loud with lots of teeth. If you ask him what his favourite animal is he'll tell (this is hard to describe - would have taken a picture - but my lens bombed out and appears to be full of mould from all the humidity - and likely not enough use. At some point I will have the unpleasant surprise of finding out what it's going to cost to have it fixed - if it can be - hold thumbs).
