Why I Don't Like Babies

Exhibit 1: My niece Jessica A.D. (After death by chocolate)

Weekend Away

This weekend I went to my sisters 18th up at Cobram. This is the sister we refer to as the 'bush pig' for very good reasons. After spending time up at her grotty housing commission place up there, you feel very thankful to return to your nice clean home.


Her party was at lunch time on Saturday, so we drove up Saturday morning (we took my grandparents with us), and stayed up there at a cheap little 'bates style' motel.


At the party my sister also announced she had a surprise (which my grandmother returned with 'you better not be pregnant again!') it turns out they have now decided to get engaged. not that I can ever see it being more than an engagement as it would probably impact on their Centre link payments!


We drove home yesterday (Sunday) and stopped for lunch and a coffee on the way home to break up the 3 hour journey.


On the Harry Potter front I finally finished reading the Deathly Hallows last night, though I will say no more in case you have not read it yet or heard the ending.


I have uploaded some photos of my niece to Flickr, which are below:

Update

Well it has been a while since I have written an update, so I thought I should post one.

Last Sunday Sean and I took my grandparents up to Cobram to see my new niece. Nice little thing (for a baby). She doesn't have much of a nose though.. it looks more like a pig snout. I forgot to take my digital camera, so I don't have any photos to share.

Didn't mention that a couple of weeks ago I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3. I haven't seen the first pirates film yet, but have seen number 2 and enjoyed it. The third film was ok, but it was a bit like the final Lord of the Rings film though, where the ending just dragged on. The special effects were really good, so as an effects movie it was outstanding.

The film followed the journey to worlds end to bring Captain Jack back from the dead, to ralley all the pirate lords togeather to stand up and fight the baddies who were attempting to wipe out all pirates.

Not much exciting in the trailers before the film. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix looks good - even though it sucked as a book I am sure it will be really good as a film.

Uncle Andrew

Well, it has finally happened. As of noon today I am an uncle.

Celina had a baby girl, 8 pound 6 (I'm not sure if that's big or not - so do not know if we need to start the baby on lite and easy baby food). Mother and baby doing well, Uncle Andrew unimpressed, and uncle Sean over the moon.

She named her Jessica Lee. She is taking her fathers surname, but none of us know what that is!
