Crocodile rock- Crocs made by the kids in my nursery class.

332/365

A squished face but the most beautiful ear in the world- a 3d
ultrasound of our baby at 36 weeks of pregnancy. The image is not
clear as her head has descended into the pelvis.

331/365

Pipidog or dog pee pee? Either way it's an odd name for a baby body
wash... We stuck with good old johnson & johnson's.

330/365

Wasting time with silly iPhone applications- our friends Till and
Steffi's baby Emil... Two months old and already so suave.

329/365

The orange cylinder on the back of the furthest motor scooter is a
speaker, that was blaring a techno version of John Denver's 'Take me
home, country roads' so loudly I could hear it four lanes away with my
window closed. Just plain wrong.

228/365

Guests at my baby shower playing the 'name that poop' game- players
have to correctly identify the melted chocolate bar in each nappy.

327/365

Still JUST fitting on the kid's bikes at school.

326/365

What to do with old CDs/DVDs? The two year olds in my nursery class
assembled these great fish.

325/365

Another cartoon by Hoby- this time depicting my love and adoration for
my pregnancy body pillow.

324/365

From the 35 week scan of our baby. She had her face squished up
against the uterus wall so it's not a very clear image. We were
surprised to actually see her sleeping for the first time ever.

323/365

A closer view of the same method of wrapping scaffolding that turned a
whole apartment building in Shanghai into a tinderbox on the 15th
November.

321/365

My round pregnant belly turned square by a little foot being poked out
the side.

320/365

The icing on the cake...

319/365

More proof why Chinese girls with the taste sophistication of a six
year old should not get to choose the colours of their cars... Ruining
an otherwise perfectly good Ferrari.

318/365

A lovely open air meat vendor.

317/365

Phil took this photo in the southern Chinese island of Hainan- all the
tuk-tuk (motorcycle taxi) drivers her saw there were woman, and in
their spare time they all make/mend fishing nets for spare cash. This
is in sharp contrast to the male tuk-tuk drivers in the rest of the
country who simply sleep sprawled on their bikes when they don't have
a fare.

316/365

Me, as the Cat in the Hat, for our school book month parade.

315/365

Our friend having a "cupping" proceedure performed after a foot
massage- the suction effect is supposed to draw toxins out of your
skin. I personally think the giant purple circular bruises it leaves
behind are just plain silly.

314/365

Flower and crockery vendors.

313/365

Taking out the rubbish? Construction materials from a building
renovation left in the street.

312/365

The baby blanket I crocheted finally finished.

311/365

Early morning fog on the Bund.

310/365

Me disguised as a giant rotund beach ball. Phil and I had a
'staycation' at Shanghai's Hyatt on the Bund for my birthday.

309/365

Flat cat. A cat lying on the top shelf of a street from display cabinet.

308/365

Phil took this photo of a Chinese super hero poster- I loved it so
much we had it printed and framed.

307/365

Jumbo sized bottle of Tums antacids- a pregnant womans best friend.

306/365

An abstracted view of a lamp.

305/365

My Halloween costume- White trash. Truth be told I couldn't think of
anything else that would go with my belly.

304/365

Halloween fun

303/365

A wooden carved happy Buddha that I picked up in a Market stall in
Xian a few years ago.

302/365

Our friend Hoby drew Phil this charactature of us for his birthday a
couple of years ago.

301/365

Scaffolding going up to give a crubling building a superficial paint
facelift.

300/365

Shanghai street scenes
