After my speaking engagements in Ireland (I know I'm being slack, I'll blog about the conferences once my exam tomorrow is done) I drove up to the parents for my birthday and demanded cake. On Saturday I took the niece and nephews to the beach; where I tried to get them to pose nicely for a photo for my mother ....
That's not posing nicely. | 
Is that seaweed? | 
No Christmas presents this year then. |
I hate them. Obviously.
