ffutures: (Bulgaria)
[personal profile] ffutures
Well, just turned on my phone for a completely different reason and received a text from my sister - my oldest niece has had another baby last night, and I finally have a grand-niece (after three grand-nephews, two for my middle niece and one for oldest niece). With my youngest niece also expecting it's likely that I will be announcing a quintuple Bulgaria1 within the next few months.

God, I feel old...

1Note for non-Brits - See Wombles, Great Uncle Bulgaria, etc.

Thanks. This is getting bloody expensive, of course...

Oh lord, yes, Christmas time. I hadn't considered that.

There is much to be said for a small family. :)

All too true, alas - since I plan to take early retirement in 2 and a bit years I can't deny it.

I have a very simple mind - I was just pleased with myself for reading the headline and knowing exactly what you meant without even thinking about it!

It's easier for older Brits, we automatically get the "great uncle" = "Bulgaria" connection.

You must be very great indeed

There's a reasonable chance I'll live to be a great-great-uncle - oldest grand-nephew is four already.

Forgot to say that my uncle is at least a great-great already, I think possibly a great-great-great on his side of the family.
