Happy Birthday Ann!
My sister just celebrated her 50th ...

My theory is that these days a 50th is equivalent to 30th in old money. Here's to another 50!

Well done Niall!
My eldest son, Niall told me last week that he'd been selected as a 'sub' for the Cub scouts' five-a-side football team in the district/area tournament with around 20 teams. We duly went along - thinking that was good that they'd let Niall at least take part. Lo and behold - Niall came on the second game - and - scored the 'deciding' goal! We (and others) were flabbergasted to say the least. They then got into the finals, and WON the tournament! Now he goes to the final tournament in Kelvin Hall! Just shows that you can easily underestimate the capabilities of your kids. From a proud father - Good luck, Niall!
