Oh Shi-

[misguidance]

 My brother, who has slowly (finally) been sorting himself out over the last year or so, went on holiday with Frankie and on the last night he proposed to her!  It's both awesome and strange, seeing Mum's engagement ring on the hand of somebody as incredibly un-Mum-like as Frankie (who's awesome- just she and Mum are of course completely different.)  It suits her, though, and she makes Chass happy so I'm actually thrilled for them both.

Suddenly, the prospect of me becoming an uncle seems very real and surprisingly close.   
I'm going to have to learn how to knit baby clothes.
