Wining and dining with Dr Evil

It's been a week of such gustatory pleasure that my once almost bald pate is now a veritable lustrous mane.


Regular readers will no doubt recall my lament at the state of the nation's roadside dining, so I'm pleased to report that nobody makes gruel like chere maman. What a thrill to finally have a spoonful of this finely-textured slurry slopped between my yearning gums.

And as if that weren't sufficiently hedonisitic, I was then allowed to diversify my beverage selection and quaff Adam's ale from the finest of Heinz baby basics beakers.


Note how thrilled the jackoodle is by the impact that all this lavish feasting has had on the floor.

Indeed, I am happy to extend an invitation to anyone who wishes to join the jackoodle in partaking of my spoils, but it will cost you ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

The baby rock demon and the sea

Here, as promised, are the shots taken by my super glammy rock star chic Aunty Lolly.
It was high time she paid a visit as I've been longing for a partner in crime to bring out my inner
rock demon...

attack the paparazzi

and over indulge with.

But as usual the manny and chere maman were intent on destroying my super-cool image by making me play with this really lame cloth book that they take everywhere.

After a great struggle, the manny finally relented and let me tear the newspaper.

It wasn't as much fun as smashing a guitar, but we all felt calmer afterwards.

At the beach my image took another blow. How the hell does a boy release his inner rock demon when his mother makes him wear a hat AND a hoodie?

I was left with no choice but to channel my inner Hemingway and stare forlornly out to sea.

Yet another moment of macho posturing ruined by one's parents.

But, like any true rock star, I'm still a mamma's boy at heart.

High tea

Okay, so the best thing that happened last weekend was a visit from my darling Auntie Lolly, but those pictures will just have to wait. The second best thing was the lavish afternoon tea that we shared with Hans and Emily. I was really pleased that they got so carried away at the Indian sweet shop.



Hans made a really interesting point...

that left the rest of us stunned.
