Faceplant and colours



Ev started off the weekend with a late Friday afternoon face-plant on the beach.  I wasn't there, but she tells me that he was pushing his yellow truck at high speed, crashed it into a crest on the beach, went flying over and didn't manage to get his landing gear out.  Ouch.  What you can't see is that he's also missing skin on his forehead.   I hope you got my message yesterday, lovely person, we were thinking of you.




















These are the buildings that Evan's nursery school is at the bottom of.  They are housing estates - mega blocks of flats in Hang Hau - the dark city as we call it - quite intimidating looking (particularly collectively), but very friendly up close.


This is Sasha - my dear friend Jacques and Michelle's daughter.  She's my god-daughter, and four, a few months older than Ev.  In Hong Kong terms we live far apart - perhaps another way to look at it would be three types of transport apart - a bus, a train, and a ferry.  Ev is dead keen to have her come to his party - a looong journey for a couple of hours though. 

This is Lara, friends of our's daughter - she is very groovy - though much smileyer than this photo - which I love because of it's colours - her amazing firey hair, fantastic brown eyes.  She's quite a cracker is Lara.  When she was a little girl she ruled with a high volume, high octane temper - but she's mellowed into a really cool kid.









Finally, I like the one of Aiden below too, also for it's colours - though the photo itself has him looking slightly apprehensive.
