be born first i have nicknames for em all but they are as hard to remember as their real names numbers are much better ,dont ask me what age they all are cos i dont know some are really old and some are really young and some are in the middle but i love em all especially on family allowance day

funny you only got one fish (not ment in a nasty way ) as no.4 wanted to go over to the main wall and fish over by you ,she said it looked better over there for fishing the grass is always greener on the other side of the harbour i,ve tried that wall a few times without much luck but have heard of small tope and the odd smoothy being taken off it at the end of the summer so who knows i often wonder if all them new rocks they put there a few years ago have any conger living in them yet
