You will glad to hear baby Jenson was born yesterday evening at 9lb 1oz, everybody is fine and doing well.

Will pop back with a picture when time allows.

Many congrats, a good size indeed for a first baby. Pictures please (when time permits).

Yes, hearty congratulations and regards to the Mrs.

Doozergirl

Congratulations Percy and Mrs Percy!! :j :j

Ouch!

9lbs! Cripes. Congratulations to you both Percy1983.

Interesting times in Australia. The ruling Liberal Party announced a leadership election at 9pm. By 10pm we had a new PM and Deputy. None of this rubbish of weeks of speculation and in-fighting.

Julie Bishop is deputy who I think is particularly good and I sincerely hope will become Australia's second woman PM sooner than later. Malcolm Turnbull is PM which is an arrangement that I suspect won't last long. Hopefully he'll survive long enough to see off Bill Shorten, Labor (sic) leader.

Congratulations Percy.

Whilst it doesn't feel very democratic, I will say you Aussies know how to get things done - getting rid of a sitting prime minister here sems to require months of shadow boxing, phoney campaigns, stalking horses etc...or a general election; not a 'I think I've got more mates than you today so how about it?'

To be fair, Abbott was an utterly crap PM, truly awful.

He got the knife in the back and deserved if. He was a very good opposition leader but a horrible PM.

Aussie politics are interesting.

That's brilliant kab :rotfl:

Many congratulations Percy and Mrs Percy :beer: (or Percy and Percy's OH, whichever applies)

I keep typing letters in the wrong order today, but at least it has reminded me to tell you that we saw 2 signs at roadworks this morning stating PEDESTRAIN CROSSING.

I bet the person who prepared the signs was fed up when they realised. If indeed they did realise.

I now keep visualising a locomotive with lots of feet, rather like Terry Pratchett's Luggage.

He has got a button nose, didn't get maclaren pram :rotfl:

I am still shocked I am part of making something so cute, I can say from an objective view he is a cute baby.

No pics to share yet but thank you for all the nice messages :grouphug:
