The league of extraordinary gentlemen
Tada! Jamie turned 1 year old today, and was with much joyous celebration inducted into the special League of Extraordinary Gentlemen – defined by me as those lucky young individuals who own an inimitable Black PrimaToy Motorbike.
This has to be the defining toy of our generation, and it was with much fanfare that Jan and I presented him with his vehicle.
By our guess, he’s not long away from walking, so it’s probably well timed.
Anycase, this morning was the usual mad rush to work, so we’re both looking forward to spending some time with him tonight. Some folks will be around for cake and goodies, and it promises to be a dieter’s apocalypse!
Update: Well, the folks kept coming! Was a busy evening, but very enjoyable. Thanks to all who made an effort to share the day, and also to those who brought something or other for Jamie – very appreciated.

On a far more subdued note, and in stark contrast to the mirth of the day, his heart-surgery was booked today. He’ll be in Christian Barnard on the 11th April, for his open-heart surgery on the morning of the 12th. Predictably this is very hard to swallow, and an unwelcome distraction to just about everything. If this comes as a complete surprise, visit this to find out more about his AVSD.

Okay, so I know I said I’d mail … but commenting seemed just as appropriate (and probably better for one day when the little lad can read, at least his crazy dad won’t have lost the message!)
So Happy First Birthday Jamie !!
And I’ll be thinking of all three of you on the 12th April. I know he’ll be fine

Happy Birthday, Jamie!
You know, they say that often the most competent doctors are also those with the worst bedside manner. If the doc chose his first birthday as a “good day” to book surgery, then you know Jamie’s in very safe hands on 12th April.
