Gordon and the Spock effect

This picture was taken a while ago at the Island Shangri-La.  And yes, we were there for a buffet feast.  :)

I'm actually not sure what Gordon is doing here.  For some reason, he is raising one eyebrow (to be fair, something I do a lot!) at the camera which was when I took the picture.  Regardless, any guesses as to what is going through his mind?

That is illogical, father...

Celebrating the end of exams

And that is the end of exams for another year!

In case its not obvious, I should mention that I'm not taking exams.  I'm celebrating because the kids have finished their exams.  And as far as I'm concerned, that is a good enough reason to celebrate!

Going out to eat!

Naturally, when I celebrate, I celebrate with food!

Buffet time!

While there, I also took the opportunity to play around with my camera a bit more.

Lastly, can you guess where we went?

A clue!

The Solar Tower

One of the activities that the kids really enjoy is camping out at the Solar Tower in Ma Wan.

I say camping but at this point, it's worth clarifying that they don't actually camp out.  There is a complex at the Solar Tower where the kids actually sleep at night.  However, the kids still get the feeling of camping out as they spend several days and nights there without their parents looking over their shoulder.

That's right - we get to kick the kids out of the house for several days!  Woot!!

Getting ready to camp

Gordon of penzance

One of the things that Gordon got involved in at school was the school choir.  To be fair, he doesn't have a great voice (too much time spent crying and screaming didn't not help) but he did get selected as the captain as the previous captain was a wee bit too naughty!

The choir had a great performance in the competition for which they got an A grade which did wonders for Gordon's confidence.
:)

Anyway, here he is in his pirate captain uniform.  The sword isn't part of the uniform but the sword which he uses to practice his fencing with.

Yarrr!!!

Another trip down mountain road

This picture was actually taken during that wander down the mountain road I posted about last week.

You can clearly see that it was a really nice day without being obsessively hot.  Gerry's glasses are actually photo-sensitive and will turn dark if it gets too sunny.  The fact that they aren't actually that dark gives a pretty good indication that they are in the shade.

Can you spot the bird?
