Those of you with nothing better to do than read this pointless blog will be aware that Wee John's 40th birthday came and went the week before last.
But we do like to drag these things out, particularly given the fact that my dad is due to celebrate his own very special landmark on 19 November when he turns 75.
So, on Sunday, we threw a joint party.
The kids ate first...
...to gorge down...
....two cakes between us.
Next up were some fireworks and Chinese lantern lighting...
sparklers...
...and beer for children.
