We are not amused

Not the most flattering of pictures, but here's C sitting in his bath wearing a flannel. I think he realises that his Daddy is taking the mickey out of him ever so slightly.

Of course he's not amused - you haven't knotted his hankey at all 4 corners in traditional British fashion.

In the interest of equality for us primitives over here on the other side of the pond, perhaps you could clarify a few minor points.

First, what the hell does "taking the mickey out of him" mean? Is that some bizarre Cockney slang, or are you so brain-addled by continuous exposure to an infant that you can no longer formulate rational thoughts?

Second, although his father had a brief period of his youth during which he wore a four-knot hankey on his head, that is hardly an acceptable fashion statement for today's up-and-coming executives. Is the London branch seriously considering delegating to the paternal side of the management team the responsibility of dressing the new acquisition?

Looks like he is wearing a yarmulke. Good to see you are exposing him to diversity at a young age. I have a few extras should you like me to send C one or two.-MAS

A Galician Food Experience

We walked three miles along the beach and through the woods to reach this place.   Once there, we devoured barnacles, goat, fish, steak and razor clams. Washed down with coke, beer and regional white wine. And then grandma's chocolate cake, cheese and honey and coffees for the walk back.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
