Marvellous much

The kids are cheerful and healthy, in spite of being very tired. They have been polite and relatively kind all day. Emer has finally graduated to her birthday present coat - she's grown so that the sleeves are no longer than her arms. I'm pleased about this because it's lovely and long behind so will keep her bum warm.

The children and I all need new passports next year; I've sent off for application forms and now we need to figure out who we can have sign them for us. The relevant website says:

Police Officer (not civilan member of staff)
Member of the Clergy
Medical Doctor
Dentist
Practicing Lawyer
Bank Manager/Assistant Bank Manager
Member of Parliament (MP) or County Councillor
Teacher
Magistrate
Accountant
Notary Public / Commisioner of Oaths

Additionally, we must all go together as they have to sign the photos and witness the signatures of both parents. And also as well they must be available to take a phonecall from the embassy when they phone to check the witness is a real person. And so they can't be on maternity leave.

I think we know a couple of employed accountants.

There are many people who work for banks who hold the status of 'bank manager' and necessary stamps for the purpose of such forms without actually being a bank manager in the sense we tend to understand. That said, anyone who works for a bank probably won't commit fraud lightly as they will lose their job if caught.
