Happy Birthday to me

Well, finally the big Four Oh.

Certainly a lot more grey in the beard than there was 10 years ago. But an awful lot has happened in that time.

  • Married my lovely wife Lyn.
  • Spent six years bringing up my wonderful twins (Jacob and Lucy)
  • Moved to Sun and have been here for five and a half years
  • Bought my first house
  • lots of other stuff

The cards from the kids were great.

Lucy waxed lyrical.

Dad I love you. Haggy birthday Dad from Lucy. I love Dad. I Dad. xxooxxoo

Lucy has trouble getting here p's around the right way ;) She also put an insert into the card that read...

Dad thanks for the love and care

Jacob got straight to the point.

To Dad From Jacob

Lucy bought me a container of lollies (which are really very nice). Jacob bought me a pair of socks. Apparantly he saw that they were "Computer Sox" so he thought that that must be the perfect gift.

Gawd I've got gread kids.
