We’re back off holiday - Ok so we’ve been back for weeks and I have so much Tunisian goodness to share and I still have hundreds of photographs to process but I’ve had so much other stuff going on to get around to doing it ….
Since getting home Steve has had a birthday which resulted in a good night out, Sigur Ros played at the hall - which resulted in a good night out, Halloween happened, which resulted in a good night in, Bonfire Night happened, which resulted in a good night in somebody else’s house. Work has been hectic and home has been more so…
But I’ve still found time to have fun with TBk
It was the Flip Animation Festival last weekend and one of eh workshops at the art gallery resulted in this, our first attempt at stop motion animation
15 mins work for a rather rough 9 second clip - but we’re proud of it!!

TBK has a key. It is his lucky key (or so he tells me). It’s to an old cabinet that has long since been freecycled and in the imagination of my 8 year old it opens everything.
It has opened doors that criminals have been hiding behind. It has opened boxes where treasures are held. It has been the ignition key for a space rocket, a motor bike and a racing car and it has been used to lock up things only the imaination of an eight year old could think of and, it’s been used to release captives of things only eight year olds can think of.
Sunday morning on our way to Artsfest sitting on the train the key was produced from his uber cool R2D2 bag and it became a mystic key - it unlocked peoples head so TBK could see inside. He opened mine and I asked him what he could see.
“You have two doors mom, one with a heart on it and a big metal one”
“Oh whats behind them?”
“Well the metal one has a long corridor to another big door with a lock on it and behind that is all the things you don’t like, like teenagers and other things that annoy you and the heart has me and James and all our family inside.”
I thought about this for a minute then asked.
“So whats in James’ head then?” expecting teh same answer as the logic was sound 2 doors = 2 opposite emotions
“He has three doors but two of his has hearts on”
This confused me.
“Why does James have three?”
“Well Mom, James has three becaue one has his family Stat and Al and Penny and Rob and one has the things that annoy him, just the same as you, but the other one has just you and me in there because he chooses to love us!”
