David, Grace, Sarah and Emma Bellis

We spent Saturday night in Macau, celebrating Kam's recent 40th birthday. Kam, Andrew, Ming and I also took the chance to jump off the Macau tower - the world's highest bungy jump! This is Kam's third bungy jump, so he was the cool customer among the group. I think it's fair to say the other three of us were pretty scared before the jump.

It was another first for Grace & me, the first time we've both been away from Sarah & Emma overnight. When we got home on Sunday, Emma gave us a brief welcome glance before returning to watch TV, Sarah asked if we could stay away another night because she was having so much fun with Ching-Ching looking after them, and then they both went off to a friend's house to play. So much for the trauma of being separated from their parents then...

Here's the jump. The big surprise for me was my scream. A few days before, I'd wondered if I'd shout anything, and then what would be a good thing to shout out. In the event it took care of itself - Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
