Hello Sinister! Since there seems to be a little flurry of activity on the list, I thought I'd speak up and say congratulations to Vicky and Chris on the birth of their son as well! That is very nice of David Moore to let us all know that he's finally arrived. As for the London Sinister birthday picnic, Ben Apps and I will be attending, as will our baby son, James Stewart. It would be nice if some other Sinister babies were there, such as Chris and Vicky's Aidan and Rachel Playforth's daughter Alice. If any other Sinister babies were born when we weren't looking, it would be nice to meet them as well! We won't be attending any after picnic activity as I can't drink, we live a bit out of the way, and it will be past Jamesy's bedtime. Does it mean that I'm getting boring, you tell me ... We had a test run of bringing baby James to a picnic when we attended Robster's birthday celebration a couple of weekends ago. It went pretty well, he met Carsmile Steve, Pinefox and Starry Sarah just to name a few. The best part about the picnic was the salt beef and gherkin sandwiches. Mmmmm, salt beef! The other day I was trying to figure out what dates I was physically present in the United States so I could complete my son's U.S. Report of Birth Abroad form, so I was looking through some old emails. I think I had convinced myself that Sinister was never as fervent and vivid as it once was, but looking back I see that it really was *grate* and it made me a wee bit sad to think how much things have changed. So it will be nice to get together and reminisce and maybe Ken will show us his bum. Love, Rachel fruitloop Want to see what I've been up to?
