Mark and his family are at my parents’ for his birthday. They got there on wednesday, and I expect they’re having a great time. Oliver and Elise are probably being spoiled rotten by their grandparents. It’s been ages since I saw them – I don’t think I’ve even met little Elise yet – and frankly I really need to catch up with them. Thus today I’ll just wish my brother mark a happy birthday. I’m sure they’ll have a great time at yeaya and bappou’s, and I’ll see them all on skype later.
