Here is a video of Maggie Stokes-Rees - a cutie if ever there was one. Ian and Em (her parents) have just moved to Boston, Massatoosis.. Maasssatutis... in the USA and this was our last night with Ian and Maggie before they left. I was so amazed that she was talking I had to video it quick. Here's the result.
We've just heard that Ian and Em have now found a place to live that sounds great. We are praying for great blessing with this move - and intend to visit as soon as we get the chance.
Had a great time on Saturday the birthday party of my Bro-in-law. We were shattered and presumed that we'd need to leave early, but still wanted to put in moral support.
When we turned up we were greeted by the Sith Lord, Darth Vader himself. Though when he started laughing I got the distinct impression that it was just someone dressed up. But I quickly pushed the thought to the back of my mind when I saw that the garden was full of Star Wars creatures and a few Jedi Poo-Doo into the bargain.
We had unfortunately not dressed ourselves in SW-like outfits but the food and company was good. I really enjoyed meeting Mark's family and friends again. It's always good to see that someone you love has built a network of strong and genuine relationships around them.
Happy 30th Mark. Here's wishing you a good 3o more (maybe a couple more on that!)
We had lunch with some friends yesterday in their garden with their dog. We were really taken with Corrie as she was a beautiful dog. It really reminded us that we would love a dog. I love the shot of this mutt from Guy Kawasaki's blog. The only problem is that we just don't really have the room for a dog at the moment. We live in a great area for them but I keep thinking the house is just too small that it wouldn't be fair on the dog or the neighbours...
Kev is a colleague of mine. Today he brought in his brand new baby boy Ben Jonah who is 15 days old. I even got a cuddle... with Ben that is. Congrats, Kev!
