Visitors

 I find I can cope with having all these people around just so long as every so often I can slope off and sit where they can't talk at me.

Last night we had a BBQ. Lots and lots of food which- as a vegetarian- I can't eat. I'd prepared for it by having a very big lunch. When the time came I ate chips and trifle (but not together)

Odi told Fab to get the BBQ started- and I discovered that today's yoof have never been taught how to light a fire......

Today the visitors are splitting up. Odi and the bigger kids are going to the Notting Hill Carnival and Ben and the younger kids are goig to a fun day at Herstmonceux Castle. We, meanwhile, will be taking Frances to the Meeting for Worship....
