More family gathering...

 ...but it´s fun with family number one- mum is at work, dad is a quiet one, and the boys are old enough to not raise too much trouble. Hubby did lots of fried chicken, I fried us adults with a carrot ginger soup so spicy that I had to put a whole can of coconut milk into the base to not burn up on the spot. It was only half a chillie from our garden I had put into the soup, even cut off the placenta, the part which contains most of the capsaicin. Sorry! Bathing in the pool was highly probably the last time for this year, and it was Xaver and his dad who did spend most time in the water. The wind was quite strong and the temperatures only moderately warm (26 degrees) after last might´s impressive and totally unannounced thunderstorm, which kept hubby busy for some time- one of the attic windows had decided to give up defence of the house and stood wide open, thusly letting the rain into the house. Hubby managed repair work, I did the mopping up. Cassian´s spare bed got thoroughly wetted by rain water and will need a few days of drying. Which is not so good when the boy wants another sleepover sans brother, and a visit to Action and Tedi for Halloween decoration. And he wants more time alone with grandma to watch Klo Tube videos. Oh dear, even son number two howled with laughter when watching the meter-ohr slaying the dinos!
