Bonfire night yesterday, date announced by my mum as suitable because my sister and her children able to come, as had just come back from France. Me, Dad and Grandad were unaware of date til about a week ago, so it was all a bit of a surprise. Side effect of mum and sis just back from France was that I had to do all the cooking - sneaky bit of manouvering from mum there, methinks. I made Gluhwein, mulled ginger beer, mutton pies, chili-con-carne soup, jacket potatoes, apple cake, pumpkin pie and treacle toffee, as well as providing disposable cups and plates to minimise washing up. Not bad, even if I do say so myself!
DS1 only did tiny bit of sick as Vicks applied Friday night gave him better sleep, but has funny croaky voice now. He was very excited to see J&I but terrified of fireworks, plus DS2 very tired and cried whenever fireworks stopped! Good night overall though. DS1 went to bed at 9 and woke up at 10 this morning, then asked to have nap half hour early and slept for three hours, so hopefully on the mend. Relaxing Sunday watching Grand Prix and Bond today.
