I’m firmly entrenched in a post-Christmas/midsummer haze of test cricket, soaring temperatures and boundless little boy energy.

Formerly Fun’s Chris suggested posting a side-by-side shot of Boy Z and Not Max. Everyone who has seen Not Max remarks on how much he looks like his brother, so I thought it would be an interesting experiment. I went one step further and put them in the same outfit. Both photos were taken at [...]

While not particularly thrilled to find this lady in my letter box this afternoon, I was delighted with the photo opportunity and to have Space’s 1996 Latin tinged classic bopping about in my head for the rest of the day…
