Good to know I still can impress here!
Do people spend a lot of time thinking up good tag lines?

Wow, it’s been a while since I last did this…
So, as before, build & install zlib and SDL. In my case they are in e:\apps\zlib-1.2.5 and e:\apps\SDL-1.2.14
export PATH=$PATH:/e/apps/gtk-2.24.8/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/e/apps/SDL-1.2.14/bin
./configure –prefix=/e/apps/qemu-1.7.0 –enable-sdl –python=e:/apps/python-2.7.2.1/App/python.exe –extra-cflags=”-I /e/apps/zlib-1.2.5/include -L /e/apps/zlib-1.2.5/lib”
make
make install
Some time back I got very lucky with a photo of Amelia framing herself with an arc of water from the hose. It was B&W and not really focused. So a sunny afternoon washing the car presented a new opportunity.
All I have to do is get her to do it again…
Finally, but with a lower resolution waterproof camera. Have to try again another day….
Mother and boy of about four walk up while Amelia and I are feeding some ducks.
Boy: mum, you like boys don’t you. You like lots of boys!
Mother: um (turning red)
Boy: Do you like Dad?
Mother: sometimes
Then she ushered him away while avoiding eye contact. Provably wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Don’t you love kids?
Things heard in the park:
I can’t walk, pick me up. My legs are too long!
That’s a cow. What’s wrong with his face? It’s a cow, that’s how they look….
Is the snake looking at me? Make him stop!
(During the reptile show, as loud as possible): Is everybody quiet? Am I quiet? Be quiet everybody!
The best part of the day ? This pile of dirt! I think we came back to it more than 5 times.
Amelia has had a camera of her own since Christmas. This has led her to document many aspects of her life. What books she reads, jigsaws completed, her feet…..
I think it is pretty cool when she snaps pictures of me, (aware or otherwise). It does give a different perspective.
Fortunately, it is a water proof camera, so I can get some shots of her that you’d not normally be game to! Again, she takes pictures that would seems strange if you were more than 100cm tall!
It’s cool that she is proud of what she does. It seems not that long ago that just being able stack one block on another was pretty cool. Now we’ve got fine motor skills and imagination!
