Two phone calls an hour apart.
The first: DS's oldest friend from school, whose parents have become close friends (being near-neighbours) to DW and me, has become a father. A touch of bittersweet: my DS shows no sign of becoming a family man. Or putting it more plainly, I keep seeing contemporaries with baby grandchildren in their arms and I want one of those too! But I am very happy for the new GPs, who in fact already have one grandson by their elder son and now have a second.
The second: one of DW's nieces has got engaged and BIL and his wife are delighted and so am I.
This is a family-centred household and we are both very pleased. I like today!
