So, here is a trip down memory lane for those of you who were once recipients of the CM emails.
The News
Mr O is currently in Wellington re-installing equipment on Kaitaki. Lucky him, he gets to start work at 4am.
Miss O is currently struggling with the concept of falling asleep. But she has grasped the idea of making a mess with paints and enjoys riding her horse in her spare time.

***
I also came across this rather profound and thought-provoking comment by the anthropologist, Margaret Mead.
Even very recently, the elders could say: "You know, I have been young and you never have been old."
But today's young people can reply: "You never have been young in the world I am young in, and you never can be." . . . The older generation will never see repeated in the lives of young people their own unprecedented experience of sequentially emerging change. This break between generations is wholly new: it is planetary and universal.
