For some reason I am missing my family a lot lately. Maybe it's because they all live so damn far away Friends are cool, but sometimes I just crave being around my family.
On Wednesday it is my baby brother's 29th birthday. Shit, it feels like just the other day we were two little kids kicking each other under the kitchen table He is currently living in London with his wife & son. They have just received their British passports after living in the UK for the allotted amount of time (5 years, I think), so it's time for celebrations all round!
Anyway, in case you're interested, here are some pics taken of us over the years. And if you're wondering why we look nothing alike it's because we were both adopted as babies, but that doesn't make us any less real siblings than anyone else, I can assure you
Me & Dave as kids
Me & Dave @ his 21st - Spier Wine Estate, 1998
Dave & his son, Aidan, who'll be turning two on 16th August - two days before my birthday
Am off to bed now. Have been sleeping really badly these past few nights. Want to try & get back into a good routine.

That photo of the two of you on the beach is too precious for words. I stumbled apon a photo of my brother and myself when we were little people. We had the same hairstyles as you and your boetie in this pic, I had dark hair and he also had blond hair like your brother. I miss Marcello a lot, I think he is still in Italy cos his damn phone is still off. He doesn't even know about Anton and myself. When are you going down to Durbs again?
