Just a proud Dad. From left to right, me, Clare Belshaw, Helen Belshaw, Denise North.
Notice that my mouth is clenched. I am looking forward to smiling again once my teeth are fixed.

Yay! Well done Helen!
Thanks for that, LE. That's just what her proud dad feels!
Congratulations to the proud father and the relieved daughter. You won't believe this, but as soon as I saw your photo I said to myself that you must have forgotten to wear your dentures! Happens to me often and someone says that I look funny and I immediately know!
Thanks, Ramana, No, I still have all my teeth. I just need some work done. As a social comment on Australia, when I was a kid dentures were common. Then dentures almost vanished. Now they are back as an increasing proportion of the population cannot afford regular visits to the dentist. Changing attitudes to fluoride are another factor.
Jim
That is a lovely picture, and many congrats to Helen on her graduation.

Thanks, kvd.
