My brother James visited us for the week. How nice it was to see him again. It would have been even better if we had his family too but that couldn't happen (this time). James and I drove all over the country (well it is pretty tiny) looking at the tourist things - we went to Giant's Causeway and Marble Arch Caves. I found them both fascinating because of my interest in geology.

I've been working as Donovan's delivery boy for the last two weeks. The work is not taxing and it's nice to see the country side as I drive around dropping off stuff.

Can you imagine how much giggling eight 11 year old girls can do in one evening? Cheryn's birthday party sleepover was really interesting to watch - half girl/half women - one moment running around playing catch in the sunny evening and the next phoning boys and hanging up.

Zeek seems to be joining the locals - he has a soccer shirt and the rest of the kit and seems to have a ball surgically joined to his foot most of the time. I fear that he has a long way to go to catch up with some of the kids here who can do amazing things when they're only about twice the height of the ball.
