Dylan has his own DJ booth! Clare bought it second‑hand, and Dylan loves it. He is lucky that his mommy has such good ideas.
Often, Clare thinks of an activity that Dylan might like. Matt is usually doubtful about the suggested activity, claiming that Dylan is too young. But then it always transpires that Dylan indeed loves the activity, straight away. Recent examples include the London Aquarium and the DJ booth.
Matt has started his new job at the London Borough of Barnet. It is a ten-minute bicycle commute between work and home.
We have returned from an enjoyable holiday in the New Forest, our first holiday with Dylan, whose favourite part was watching the ferrets in Liberty's Centre.
Clare is amused that the word 'holler' has suddenly and mysteriously resurfaced in Matt's American vocabulary. Matt doesn't know why either, but it might have something to do with the birth of Dylan.

'I just imagine him sitting up there under a sea of papers and occasionally pulling one

this."'

Synapsids ("fused arch"), formerly known as "mammal-like reptiles", are a class of
amniotes (the other being the
sauropsids) that developed one hole in their skull (temporal fenestra) behind each eye, about 320 million years ago during the late
Carboniferous. The 4,500 species of living
synapsids, known as mammals, are currently the dominant land animals, and include both aquatic (whales) and avian (bats) species, and the
largest animal ever known to
have existed (the blue whale).

'The female accepts a male who keeps up adequately during the dance, and rejects one
who does not. The female is,
therefore, extremely discriminating; in contrast, a male will dance with and attempt to mount a blob of wax on the end of a bristle, moved in an
appropriate side-to-side
manner and then held still.'
