Silly sausage

Ben (pointing at me) : Daddy a boy!

Me: S'right. What about mummy?

Ben: Mummy a girl!

Me: Well done. What are you then?

Ben: Ben a boy!

Me: Okay. What about Luke?

Ben (pointing at his brother): Luke's a sausage!!!

Good and sad

Yesterday my brother and his wife were gifted with their second child; a little girl. So, now they have a son and daughter, and I'm pleased that they got what they wanted.

However, this good news was massively over-shadowed when I heard the tragic news that a close friend's wife gave birth to their first born on the 5th but he passed away 3 days later. I'm absolutely gutted for them because I know they will be great parents and I was so keen to see little Harrison playing with Luke and Ben one day. My thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

Shark!

I felt the need to dig around for footage of rare sharks earlier (like ya do!) and when I saw this I had to post it.

It's a "Deep Sea Frill Shark" - I remember seeing it on the news a few years ago (I took a picture of Luke stood in front of the TV because I thought this shark looked super-cool!)
