Never one to miss a birthday party for himself, this makes 3 for David this year.

Hee, hee...

My beloved twister playing family arrives from the UK tomorrow. Oh, the Glamour of Air Travel! Hopefully, there flight will not be delayed by 30 hours as mine was. I did, however, get to visit Manchester, something I had never done before except from the comfort of my couch.

How The Mighty Have Grown: David and Rafaella

Yes. I Damn Well Miss Them!!!

David is now 6.

It seems such a long time ago that he was born. I can remember Harry looking at David as if to say, why did you bring home one of those when not only am I self-cleaning, I am also furry.

While am sorry to have missed David's actual birthday, we will have another, even grander one on his return this Friday. It may be a disaster, but we bought him a drum kit!

Perhaps not the best action shot of David, but just notice the angle on those flames!

Twister no less. And who's missing in all these shots? Me.

To quote David and Sophie, 'two sleeps' until we are reunited.
