As planned, Graeme brought Daniel and Alex across for the night yesterday, and Elanor and Sally rendezvoused with us at lunchtime. This made for a right cabinful, and, as I tweeted, I think Sally's ears suffered from the enthusiastic yells of the boys. Nonetheless, both sides were very good about getting on with each other, though Sally's face never quite lost the slightly anxious look she has when small children or puppies are around.
After lunch we went for a walk to feed the ducks and buy some breakfast cereal acceptable to Alex; at just turned two, he's allowed to be a bit picky, I guess. Elanor then took Sally off for some more vigorous exercise and we spent the rest of a rather chilly and raw day in the warmth of the cabin.
Encouragingly, the boys settled to sleep in their cabin a bit faster this time than last, allowing the three adults a decent opportunity for family nattering. Graeme left after breakfast this morning, and we've been having a quiet time of it since, as you might imagine.
Graeme had brought over some delayed Christmas presents, so Sheila's been watching Mamma Mia on DVD on her MacBook, whilst I got stuck into the first two episodes of the second season of Blakes7 on the Mac Mini. Sometimes headphones are handy!
