It was the second fifth birthday of the Exile today. Where Exile #3 went back on Day 161, Exile #4 has now followed.
The day started with pyjama-clad present opening. As ever Exile #4 seemed genuinely delighted with each thing in turn.

Happy Belated Brithday to Exile #4!!! I can't believe she is really 5...is it that long since you were Exiled?!
