The black sheep of the family....

....whenever our brother-in-law writes from New Zealand he always puts his letter inside an amusing card.

(To avoid any doubt.   Don't think that the title refers to him.  Quite the opposite.   My sister-in-law died in NZ far too young more than ten years ago.   At her funeral, I said that Brin would remain part of our family always.   He has remained in close touch, and is a good and thoughtful friend.    )
