Have just spent a brilliant evening with sister, three nieces, one nephew-in-law and a great-niece aged under two and obsessed with the Gruffalo and In the Night Garden who says "bugger" a lot, only no-one can work out what she's actually trying to say when she says it. Otherwise, she's quite coherent and can count, except that's she's over-fond of six and inserts it regularly in some extremely non-Euclidean places.<br />End of evening spent chatting over remains of fourth bottle of wine to youngest niece, dyslexic and with a shiny new first in English, who's now going for a PhD.<br />Life is really brilliant sometimes.<br /><br />@Jenn<br /><br />Get there.
