To clap my hands and skip about in a elephantine manner?

I'm going to be a grandfather! Woo hoo! They haven't tuppence to rub together, so there'll be 3 generations under one roof. Still, DD is doing well after the throwing stopped, he's working all the hours God sends, and with luck I shall see New Person into their teens, as opposed to my DF who got less than 7 years of DGF hood. Wish us luck.

Just discovered this lovely thread.

As I was reading it I was acutely aware a future pandemic was looming, hope it didn’t keep you away from your DD and DGS too much.

My parents missed their GCs terribly but we’re happily making up for lost time now.

Oh, pleased to see this lovely thread again!

How are you @DisgraceToTheYChromosome ?

The Little Prince is due another birthday soon, I think?

ah, seeing this thread pop is like having an old - much missed - friend come visit.

I do hope you and the Little Prince are well, and that you continue to have that incredibly strong and special bond.

My grandad was one of the most important people in my life, and I got to spend time with him until I was 40, so well into adult hood. I can still hear his voice clearly all these years later. You are gifting that to this little guy.

Merry Christmas from the Disgraces and the Little Prince.

I swore I wouldn't post again, but I had a bit of good news last week. Admittedly, it involved a couple of insertions, and I'm sure if she been wearing a watch I could have felt the strap.

However, I'm not departing just yet, so there's more mischief to get up to. Fingers crossed for his graduation in 16 years

Just to give you massive envy, this photo was taken 10 minutes from our house.

As for the Little Prince himself, he's an entertaining and exhausting lunatic. He is composed equally of kevlar, electricity, and impudence.
