Today is Howe Synnott’s birthday. He and Rob were friends most of the way through school and have been ever since, whereas Rob and I met in university when we were studying medicine together.

One day early in our courtship, Rob and Howe took me to their favourite crayfishing beach north of Perth. Howe recorded my reaction to Rob’s catch on camera!

When Rob emailed Howe with birthday greetings today, he attached this photo to the email to remind Howe of the way we were:-)
