why one needs a leash

We spent the evening at a friends barbecue last night, which pretty much exhausted us for the weekend. With a 6-ft long exposed barbecue at one end of the garden, a gate open to the street at the other, a fire pit to the side, an open shed full of dangling saw blades, and a ladder to the loft just inside the house which was not fixed in place, combined with one boy determined to run around and try to get into all of the above, it was a marathon. We ended up with Ade stationed by the barbecue, me by the door and path to the street, some kindly stranger by the fire pit - so much for socializing. Oh and I forgot all the low-lying bottles of beer. I think he eventually got a hold of Adrian's. turns out he is quite good at climbing ladders - must have learned that at daycare.

New pictures posted - he is 18 months old now!
