Day 3.181: Construction worker

This morning we waved Exile #3 off to spend the day celebrating the birthday of one of her school friends. We expect to see her well but tired at some point tomorrow. What they have been doing is unknown (apart from the not sleeping enough part) since their original plan may have been rained off.

In fact the rain was over by late morning and the rest of us spent the afternoon outside at a baby-shower/cook-out. We had a lovely time renewing some acquaintances and catching up with some old friends. Who'd have thought we'd been here long enough to have made friends and then drifted out of regular contact with them?! Must try harder.

E5N1 loved the 'construction area' at the back of the back yard and he and Exile #4 and whoever else wandered near enough (including me for a while) were enrolled in implementing the master plan of the five year-old foreman of the site.
