We're off to feed the ducks! On the bus too, which is always a great adventure, by itself. Bradley has to sit at the seat with the stop button. And I'm asked to remind him re: the procedure for pressing the bell. "Not till we're ready to get off!"

Bit of a shaky shot, but you can see how tall the two of us are with him on my shoulders. Great fun for him, I'm sure.

We pop into the Discovery (Gadget) Shop, where Bradley has fun with the battery powered crocodile, sticking his finger in, and having it bitten off.

The point of this trip was to get him away from the TV. I have to baby sit, if we stay in, he watches TV and I work...

We end up in the ice rink on the video games. From bad to worse?

No need to put any money in though, it's just fun pretending to drive or shoot badies.

We get there at last. But it's a cold day, so once we're done, were on our way home again.

Lucky we have the fence otherwise these very hungry ducks would tear us apart.

We bought him this luminous yellow coat and a hat, complete with handcuffs, whistle, etc. for Xmas. But he didn't wear it, it was Esme who was in it most of the time.
This is a fleeting moment, perhaps the only time he has worn it.

Interesting training day yesterday at the Government Offices for the West Midlands. (I was giving Manila training.)
I learned two important things:
- Someone's daughter wanted to be a horse at the age of three. Thus, I shouldn't worry that my 3 year old Bradley wants to be a girl because he's "not brave of having his toenails cut."
- On the topic of spending tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pounds plus increased labour on web projects when Manila could do it out of the box.
- That money needed to be spent quickly less it disappeared, if it wasn't spent it may not come back and this was "the way Government works."
- And, people would make purchasing decisions between, very low cost and very large cost without the slightest technical knowledge nor seeking advice, because "it gets their dick hard to spend loads."

"No longer married to TV, the elusive young male demographics"
I'm too old! But anyway, I do more internet than TV too.
