Happy Birthday S!

The time means that S is now fifteen years and twelve hours old. He was born at 1156am. It makes me smile to remember the time. I remember being at the hospital and his dad asking how long it would take for him to be born. I remember laughing out loud and saying 'how long is a piece of string?'

My Mum and Dad were in Australia at the time and I had worked out the time difference and thought that 12 noon was the latest he could be born and it would still be ok to phone them. So... 5am, then 5 hours and 2 hours for the 'hard bit' and then baby 'should' be born at 12 noon.

The only time I have made a 'plan' and it worked out!

I still have to work out what happened to the last fifteen years - it's flown past!
