I don't have the patience (or the skill) to take lovely wildlife pictures like some of the amazing photographers on this site - but if you look closely at this shot from our walk yesterday you will glimpse a rare sighting of a Lesser Grey-Hoodied Boy running through the long dry grass, displaying his characteristic exuberant behaviour.
About two hours after I took this picture, there was an incident involving his big toe, his brother and a slide tackle during a football kickabout with friends on the rec. He is now hobbling around in pain today The toe has swollen and turned purple. I didn't think anyone would want to see a photo of that, so put this "before" shot on instead.
I hope the toe's not broken. If no less swollen tomorrow, it'll mean a trip to the doctor. Still, it means a quiet week on the taxi-front for me, as one tennis lesson, two football practises and one drum lesson are off the agenda....
Oh I think drumming be ok (Just kidding!). Sorry to hear about his toe, but brilliant pic - thanks for the giggle over the 'arare sighting of a Lesser Grey-Hoodied Boy' bit!
@blightygal skipping the drum lesson does sound a bit weird, I know! But it's the big toe of his right foot so bass drum pedal is an issue - as we found out yesterday when I "forced" him to go to band practise just after the accident - I think that may be why it's swollen up so much - bad parenting on my part!
Does he use his feet to play the drums?
