I went to see my mate Nurse Joyce on Friday last week - couldn't believe my ears when she told mam I was 10lb 11oz now, AND I've grown 3" - at this rate I'll be taller than mam in no time! I'm still being a good boy, and although granny May has gone back up to Yell noo, mam seems to be coping quite well (mind you she doesn't sweep the floor as much as granny did - I spied a dust bunny this morning when I was on my changing mat).

It's nearly time for dad to go south to pick up his boat, I'll miss him, but it's not long till he's back again - he says I have to buy a pair o rubber boots so that we can go and haul creels!
