Oh, it's definitely her, I laughed out loud at the scans they did of her
eyes, I wouldn't have thought there needed to be scientific veracity on
that, but there you go.

Try looking at a photograph of yourself between the ages of 12 to say 20, or
even sometimes 25, and see if you look like the same person. I see my folks
at least once a year, when they came to stay in December, my father opined
"When did your nose get so big?" I can't remember when, but he's right, it
has, and when I look in the mirror or see photos of a couple of years ago,
the contrast is a bit frightening.

Um, her eyes are green on my monitor.

Cheers,
Gary
