Our nephew Jack turned 5 this week. I can't believe it was 5 years ago since I watched him being born in San Francisco. It doesn't feel like yesterday but it doesn't feel like 5 years ago either. Maria organised a pirate party for him and by the looks of it there were some right rum sorts there. The nutters above are my Dad and his wife Alexandra. Below, Maria with Jack.
As we couldn't be there in person, we celebrated by going to Taronga Zoo on one of the coldest days of the year. This winter really is like a proper northern hemisphere winter. (I got into bed for my afternoon nap yesterday wearing all my clothes and my scarf. My SCARF!).
Scarlett enjoyed finding out what it would be like to be really hard of hearing and we enjoyed hanging our with the meercats, surely one of the planet's coolest creatures as they chilled out in the sun. I wonder where they buy their sunglasses. 
Flo, as ever, slept throughout. She is now 18 weeks old and a right little charmer. We are looking forward to her christening next weekend and in particular having a gathering of family and friends at a champagne reception afterwards. If it's anything like the knees up, I mean, function we had after Scarlett's christening there will some sore heads the morning after. Amen. Hic.
