Dave is extremely very useful

A domestic rather than sporting triumph this week!  As you know, Dave is good at that triathlon business when he's not busy being excellent at work, and he can also provide a comfortable location for bedtime milk-drinking as far as Harriet's concerned.

But that's not all.

Happy anniversary to us!

No, not this one:

A brace of birthdays

Reuben and Harriet have just celebrated their 8th and 2nd birthdays respectively.  We've just about cleared up the shredded wrapping paper and I've stopped finding hundreds and thousands dotted around the kitchen, so here are some pictures from the celebrations.
