Josh's Birthday

This is Josh with his birthday present - his sax. He has played it a lot already - and it sounds good - or is it him? When he started playing, seven years ago, it looked so big. It appears to have shrunk a little!

He has had quite a good week - he passed his driving test on Thursday. He's really pleased. It'll be handy having another driver in the house, but I still think 16 is rather young to be driving those powerful tin boxes around. I originally told the children they would have to wait until they were the same age I was when I learned to drive.... which was.... 28! Ha! In a country where children think, like having a name, and the right to an opinion, driving is merely one of their human rights! why walk, when you can pollute the atmosphere and avoid exercise at the same time?

Oh well, as if he wasn't already getting a lot of prayer - he'll now be getting a lot more.
