Oh sweet Jesus, oh no!!!

Today is 1 September.
It can only be back to school day!

None of those wishy-washy or overly emotional shots as on 1 September last or the year before (isn't that year-ago thumbnail amazing?)

No, today Luca told me exactly what type of shot he wanted (we even had 3 minutes to spare this year!). And then of course Mimi wanted a ghost shot too, and they both fought for the curtain, and there were tears and screams, and Finnzy-Bob wanted to be part of it too, and they wrapped him in the curtain and he started crying, then Luca got his shot, and Mimi cried, and Finnzy left a trail of snot in the curtain.

Business as usual in the Raheny household...

Just spoke to Luca on the phone and he had a great first day on the first floor, as a first year student. No more of that infant stuff (junior or senior). Long may the enthusiasm last... (I'll give it a week or two)
