Yesterday S and D were hosting a party for their daughters and daughters’ friends, and we were invited. Small was having a not quite on this planet day though, and all of us were still suffering/ malingering (depending on your point of view) with this cold/man flu so we gave it a miss. Turned out to have been a very wise idea when there was a toilet incident that ended up requiring a shower (and even that limited information is probably tmi, but there you go) and I think all of us were good for a quiet day. I ended the day steaming my head with menthol and eucalyptus (must do it again soon) and slept really well, right the way through to 10am. Must try that again soon too!
Today we’ve vegged – late brunch turned into lunch and was followed by Bee Movie [2007] and then a very brisk walk in an extremely brisk wind on a not particularly deserted beach. I took more pictures, and will deal with them when I get home.
After that, Christmas cake and more flickering images, this time of Kung Fu Panda [2008]. This proved to be very well received, and we spent some time going through the extras on the DVD as well, although we couldn’t really get the game working. Small was thrilled at a Po of his own and then it was time for more food and finally wandering back to put tired children to bed.
And very soon tired parents as well. Tomorrow we shall be wending our way northwards to be ignored by a cat (who is really going to love me the morning after when I take him to get jabbed!) and then I’ve to arrange to see my family and do it all over again!
