Let the festivities BEGIN!!

It has been a busy weekend. On Friday, T was in the Brixton academy to watch the Chemical Brothers live. Judging by the bags under his eyes when he got back on Saturday, I would say that I very good time was had. On Saturday, Munchkin attended his first Christmas party. It was a Christmas Tree decorating party, so we picked a decoration and headed off. Munchkin was very, very tired as he had missed his nap (as we had to go and retrieve T from a public car park in Cirencester where he had been dropped off by the coach) but managed to hold it together for long enough so that his parents could enjoy a festive drink and bite to eat.

Sunday was a special day. We have been secret squirrelling for weeks now organising Grandee's surprise birthday party which was to be held on that day. Munchin was read the riot act in the car on the way to the venue. The usual was said (Mama will find these words VERY familiar) i.e. don't scream like a hyena, don't touch anything you shouldn't etc. After a bit of a delay, the proceedings commenced (much to the relief of the chef who had been spotted pacing and biting his nails at the prospect of making adjustments to the timings in the kitchen) and a good time was had by all.

What of Munchkin, you ask (I suspect he will sneak in his point of view shortly)? He did have a short scream like a hyena but once he managed to get himself to sleep for an hour he was fine. So, Mama, I think we won't need to get the purple Kai mou sou (feather duster) out..........just yet.

Feather duster? Is this some strange sort of oriental discipline technique that I'm unaware of?

Indeed! My mother used to wield it in such a menacing fashion it would scare grown men!
