    Pleased to tell the world that "Avatar #2" is gestating nicely, here's the obligatory fuzzy indistinguishable picture of said "prawn" though it is more the size of a crayfish I guess!



    Amazing how well developed a baby is at 13 weeks - everything as it should be, correct number of limbs/toes etc. Does of course mean the hifi fund will take a hit, and the bedrooms where I have second/third systems will be cleared out, but I'm sure that will be the least of our worries!

    Won't be finding out the sex - always nice not to know whether it is a little boy or a little girl that will soon be poking your tweeters in!

    I reckon about 5 - but then I am a red wine drinker, and she has been keeping an eye on my consumption for conception!
