Swan I thought so but hang on cos of the time difference it's 28th here now so your birthday's on 27th isn't it? I was wishing you Happy Birthday yesterday...confused!

Hmmm. Well, you said she was born three hours before you posted, which would be about six hours ago? It's 6 right now where I am, so it's possible she was born while it was still the 27th here. There's still hope!!!

She was born at 7.19 GMT+1 which is our summertime but it'd be fair to say you were probably still celebrating so I'll count that! I'll not forget your birthday now Swan. You're a quarter of a century older than my grand daughter!

And a Taurean Chypmunk, whatever fine qualities that holds :D

Mainly stubborn obstinacy but that does come with a very small side-plate of unbelievable intelligence and sparkling wit plus outrageously good looks and taste ;)

(the latter part of the above is based totally on reading between the lines of what my good wife calls me and massaging information where necessary)

Sorry - I think that was probably me actually ... I'm blaming it on either the prunes for desert yesterday or the cabbage and bacon at lunchtime today :blush:

ha yeah they were telling me off yesterday cos I let their little dog sleep on our bed while I was dog sitting while they were in hospital having the baby. I said wait till I babysit the baby when she's a bit older...spoiling! oh yeah man, looking forward to it. Our son said to me later, mum don;t let her have too many sweets...I'm like Jim, she's not a day old yet! give me time!
