The day before his hair cut. He looks sweeter, much more child like.		After the cut. He's more boisterous, and looks older to boot.
		I remember when I was a kid a can of pop was huge. All a matter of scale.
I was sitting on the bench watching these two play in the sand ppit on the slides and stuff, run back and fore for pop, watching their footprints in the sand and as other children ran over them. Thought this picture of foot prints would make a nice poignant moment.

		This is a favourite spot on the river. There's a huge bank of pebbles, but not much scope for paddling. We usually park up at the top of the town, buy an ice cream and walk down to the other end where this bank is, near the big bus car park, by the museum. Why they want to take their shoes and socks off for I dunno. With all those stones I'd have guessed they would have learnt by now, but they don't listen to my advice...
		Amanda called us back for dinner, "it'll be ready in 10 minutes." Jeez I think it'll take 10 minutes just to put their shoes back on, then we've got to get back to the car, and drive home...

They have great fun in Telford shopping centre. Nice and safe for them to run around. No cars. Good security so pretty sure they're not going to get pinched nor lost. Mind they'd shout at the top of their voices were they to get lost.

Another pet hate is having Esme's face painted. I give in today. First time ever. Amanda always has it done. I'd rather move past to something else, in too much of a hurry, I guess.

Doh! I hate the trampolines. But I get caught today. Esme says, "do you have money today?" Yes. Why? "Yippy, we can go on the bouncys! Tricked. So, I have to stand attentive at the nets, while I hear, "watch me Dad," every split second. Yes, I'm watching.

		On the way to Telford Park, we pop into Dawley. It's a busy day in the High Street, so I take a picture to make the moment. Market day in a Friday morning is very busy. ";->"

Whenever I point the camera at Bradley, "oy! Bradley, turn-around!" He says, "cheeeeese." That's what he's saying here. You can almost hear it.		Another cheeeeese. Notice the longer hair?
She looks ever so old in these glasses. And instead of pulling a pose she says, "cheeeese" too.		A war is about to start? Bashing heads, as it turns out I distract them and we're outta the car and in the house pdq.

"Sex, Drugs, and... Typography?. You might not think to make a movie about the life and times of a font, but someone did."

"...With it's rounded serifs it was simple and friendly, but bold."

I used to be a mad typographer, when designing brochures or letterheads, I'd pour over type face catalogues, rendering up roughs to see if a particular face would work.

Good little film.

""Bar¨aBlog, my weblog, was proving very popular," he says, "and I turned round and realised that I had written 30,000 words. So I thought it would both make a nice memento of my time in Spain, and also a way of putting my work out there as an up-and-coming writer." His collection of writings and photography will be for sale soon at his site, Prandial.com, distributed via CafePress."

One of the biggest income streams they've missed out on, is intangibles. With my blog, I get no micro payments, no ad revs, nothing. So, why do it, besides it being an addiction?

I get reputation.
