I wonder if the Mumbai Police method of accurately firing a submachine gun is really helping the situation over there?

New - Travels Website
I started to post the story of the trip to Devon, but I ended up writing way too much; considering we've had a couple of really fantastic holidays in the last few years, I decided now would be a good time to start a website dedicated to those travels, where I can write up a more detailed account and post all the photos. A potted version and the better photos will still appear on here as and when we go on new adventures.
I only started it tonight, and I'm using a new HTML editor that's I've never seen before, so currently it looks very clunky, but you can at least read about days one and two of the Devon trip here.

Teething and Bond
We had a nice and quiet weekend this weekend, trying to continue the holiday feel. Lucy came over on Saturday, and we all went down into Wycombe. My plan had been to take Lara to the pub to watch the England v South Africa rugby match while Olga & Lucy did girly shopping, but somehow we all went to the pub.
Our next big idea was that we'd get Lara off to sleep nice and early, and Olga and I could go out for the evening while Lucy babysat. Great plan, only Lara hadn't read it. Far from screaming her head off, she was just super happy and awake from 7pm (proposed sleepy time) until 8.30pm (actual sleepy time), which meant Olga and I had to make a fast dash down to the town centre, grab a quick meal in Pizza Express and a couple of pints in a pub before getting home for soon after 11. Better than nothing though!
On Sunday we took advantage of Lucy still being around to go to the cinema for the first time since Lara was born, I think (well, together, anyway). We went to see Quantum of Solace in the Eden Centre Cineworld. The cinema was very nice, not quite as nice as the Vue in Reading, but considering that there was only one other couple watching the 11.20am showing, we were pretty happy. I'd only give the film 6/10 though, it was wayyyyyyy too fast-paced, vital parts of the plot were skimmed over at a hundred miles an hour, and just because the free-running at the start of Casino Royale was so good, they felt compelled to include a lot of free-running in this one too - it actually gets boring after a while!
Lara's sleeping is more disturbed at the moment, which we're putting down to teething, there's lots of gum- and finger- sucking going on, red cheeks, and regular waking in the night. Ho hum, not much we can do about it other than keep the teething gel and calpol handy. I'm writing this late at night as I'm going to sleep in the nursery with Lara tonight so Olga gets a good night's sleep as she has to get up early to see clients in London tomorrow.
On that note, I can hear some cries... oh no, false alarm I think, she's quietened down again.
As Zebedee once said.. time for bed.

The Devon photos have arrived
I have edited the collection down from 90 to a mere 36, including a couple of videos, you'll find them here.
It's a tad late tonight for me to compose a post of the full story of the trip, I'll get round to that later in the week, hopefully if it's quiet at work... sssh!!
