The Twins

...in our local pub in the evening.

Greg came over from Canterbury after work and we all tootled down the pub. We then had a slap-up Chinese takeaway back at home with Fred, Erika and Alex too. It was a lovely evening.

They are rarely together for long these days - not even on birthdays

This is probably the last time I shall see Em before she returns to Melbourne. She is off to see her older brother, Ben, my biggest son, in London for a few days. He was on duty all over Christmas and the New Year on nights at Great Ormond Street Hospital so we have spoken but not met up. I have sent my presents with her. Then she is on a tour to see friends in all her old haunts. She has left bags to collect at some point but that will be when I'm at work.
