Day 1.155: Party games

We spent most of the morning getting ready for Exile #4's birthday party. We had the bouncy castle, gazebo and the sprinkler on the lawn, food, drinks and craft projects on the deck. Exile #2 sang some songs with the kids before the cake was brought out - chocolate with rainbow sprinkles - as requested.

Temperatures were up in the high 80's and it was very humid. The kids cooled off in the sprinkler in their swimsuits (not 'costumes' - that would be silly) so did I (but in my clothes!).

At 1.20 pm we said goodbye to the last of our guests. At 1.25 pm we heard the thunder. At 1.35 pm I felt the first drop of rain as I put the last part of the gazebo away in the garage. The bouncy castle and food were already in. I'm not quite sure how we did it. I'm also wondering if all the locals have a sixth sense about these things.

Now, a party game for all of you - a mystery picture - no post processing, except a crop. Any explanations?

  1. i think there's a watery feel to the mystery pictures and your post, so i'm going to guess you took it through a drip/drop. that might also account for the circular distortions

  3. sunglasses (though i still can't work out why the bottom bit is reflected upside down.

    that would make it more likely it's a glass or something which has a reflection on the opposite side too.


    mmm

  4. Sunglasses? No. Reflection from the other side - you could be on to something. This quiz could turn into a soap-opera if we're not careful.

  5. Are you forever supporting West Ham, by any chance?
