Hi, so despite saying that I would update more often, it has been nearly a year since then, apologies.

Regarding the triplets, they will be a year and two months tomorrow. I saw them once at Easter when they were small, squishy things, and again during the summer when Sorcia and I went up to stay for 3 days. They are so much bigger now, proper baby size. It is surprisingly easy to tell them apart, both to look at and how they sound. They have really different personalities already -William is very giggly, Jonathan tends to cry quite a lot, and Emily is very quiet and serious. They can't talk yet, at least, not beyond 'bobobobobo!', although they make a suprising amount of noise between them, and they can't stand without help. Emily has mastered a sort of crawl/ roll in order to get around, so she is never where you leave her. I have some photos of them, so if anyone wants to see just let me know. Also, some brilliant news -Nicola is engaged!

Asides from this, I went on holiday with my family to Egypt during July. It was very hot. Very, very hot. Too hot to go outside most of the time. However, the snorkling was brilliant -my dad and I were literally surrounded by fish. It made me regret that I don't have an underwater camera. Also, as we were staying in Sharm El Sheikh we visisted places like the Old Market. Unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to go to Cairo to see the pyramids, although we did ride camals, stay in a bedouin tent, and go startgazing.

This year is tiring and stressful already. We are only 4 weeks into the term and yet it feels like months. The exam nightmares are back, among others, but the first exams aren't until January. Fortunately there is an escape (partially) from this, in the form of two school trips! A biology field trip to Norfolk -welly boots everyone, and the English trip to Stratford -awesomeness!

In my rare spare moments I have been making/ drawing things, so I may be putting up some deviations soon. I'm not sure though -some of it may have to wait.
