...while we celebrate the 87th birthday of our family patriarch (though he is too gentle, really to be patriarchal)!

17 adults and 3 tinies: 14 weeks, 18 months, 2 years

Totalling 839 & 14 weeks life experience in the house this evening.
1,128 years and 14 weeks if we include absent family!

Aaaaargh - it doesn't seem to make us much wiser.
