Dad’s still impressed by and obsessed with the idea of underwater photography. The number of times I’ve heard him crooning “Under The Sea” from “The Little Mermaid” is increasing by the hour.

Dad’s not the only one imitating an unusually-ruddy lobster. Sister 2 has spent so much time outside that her face is now bright pink (or maybe she’s just embarrassed by getting mentioned in her brother’s blog in this way). Her fringe is also increasing by the hour, so she’s pushed the offending hairs backwards over her scalp, so they now resemble crustacean antennae.

Mum meanwhile is still crabby about having not won Scrabble at all this year: she hasn’t managed yet to claw her way back up the rankings. (What did you expect? Lobsters aren’t very good at Scrabble.)

You may think my family will be offended by my comparing them to lobsters, but I’m sure they can take it. They have tough shells. Picture of a redpoll, anyone?

Note: This article really isn’t meant to be taken seriously. Sebastian is a crab, for starters. Yum yum, crab for starters.
