Day 1.246: Party on!
We spent the late afternoon and early evening at a very nice party (thanks L&LL). All three generations had a good time. As usual we encouraged the kids to go and find people to entertain while we attempted (generally successfully) to enjoy some adult conversation.
Exile #4 discovered that you could make an excellent game out of a normal air-filled balloon and an air-conditioning fan unit (the balloon is blown up by the fan - but not too high, then falls back down). Later we made a flying saucer out of a disposable bowl (OK it was a flying bowl - do they make disposable saucers?). I think it's hot enough to run our A/C one or two more times - purely for the purpose of scientific experimentation of course.
