One year old

Our niece had her 1st birthday party today. Cannot believe it is a year since she was born and how much she has grown up in that time. She can just about talk and walk now though mainly she just asks "what is this?" kind of fused together so it's all one word.

Anyway, as I was surrounded by children all day it was only fair that I indulged in sweets, washed them down with a few Hoegaarden's and made myself feel sick. I took quite a lot of photos today and decided to blip this empty m & m wrapper (ironically, apparently my favourite sweet as a child), it actually turned out better than I thought it would and I liked how there was a perfect cut like a lighting strike down the middle where I had anxiously battled my way in.

Speaking of junk food, stumbled across this today, on Pat Symcox, former South African off-spinner.

"During an ODI against Australia at the SCG in late-1997, play was stopped after the crowd pelted Symcox with projectiles, including an entire KFC barbecued chicken."
