I feel a trifle deaf

You might not think a 90th birthday party would be noisy.

*wines, rubs at ears* You would be wrong. There were a lot of people! And Dee clearly enjoyed herself thoroughly and after the first hour or so, I found a couple of congenial people to talk to, so that was nice for me.

But Mum and I both heaved sighs of relief to come home to our beautifully quiet house.

Gerard is back in black! And the entire band back in costumes, the adorable dorks.

I'm not sure what to think of the hair. I like the black and I think I prefer the short black to the short red - but I really liked the long red hair and Frank's long dark hair ...

I wonder what they'll look like for the Big Day Out shows ...
