First kicks
So tonight Lou asked for my hand and places it on her belly. One kick, two kicks. Big smile on my face, I leaned over and said 'hello' - ANOTHER KICK!
I'm aware that I don't want to be 'that guy' who keeps going on about his upcoming baby and posting stuff continually about it - but it's hard to not do that! You quickly recognise that those people who do that are just super pleased and happy and can't help it. And it isn't that they don't have anything else going on in their lives that's interesting - it's just that it really does feel like a top trump.
It isn't that special I know. But this is really special to me. I don't want to keep bleating on about it. There's a little man kicking around in my wife's belly and although that's totally normal (as in the 7 billion people on the planet were all once in that same situation), it's impossible to just brush off as passe.
Now I have to start reading to a belly.

Out of Africa
- Worked
Yep those ancient lithics are cool to look at under the microscope
- Got ill for an entire week
- Did some partying
Where to start - We started fireworks only for a local to come and bust that shit up 'three dogs have died already from running onto the train tracks' - WTF We were too polite to argue but people actually walk to work down those train tracks - there are almost no trains. She called the police - they kept driving by the house. The next weekend we all got sloshed and ran about on the beech firing the remainder of the huge box of fireworks at each other and over the ocean. One of the skipped the waves. I tore a huge ass hole in my jeans and spent the rest of the night exclaiming that it was caused by the tripod effect or 'the dragons wanted to come out' or some shit like that. Epic.
- Almost eaten by lioness
This was sweet, so there we are driving through a reserve and I thought it would be cool to get a shot by one of the signs. Everyone agreed. Here we are:
I particularly like this one
