Dummy run

 The boys are finally returned to their parents, and the house is quiet again. Flavius was his new usual self, cranky taking turns with good-tempered. I think we have had plenty of time to study the ways young ones´ mind is working, hopefully this will help us when Elsa will stay with us (the Lord help us). We did not have to cook today but defreezed that half of the Christmas turkey which got not eaten. Then we all had a lengthy after-lunch nap. Number two and wife arrived at our house at four in the afternoon, strung out from visiting too many museums, consumed a late lunch then left, thinking that maybe Flavius was getting ill because of his cranky behaviour. There´s an excuse for everything nowadays:( Half an hour son was back again, because his mobile was still at our house as were some of Cassian´s toys he had dispersed all over the house. Oh, the joy of searching! Hubby left for a last-minute grocery shopping, I turned the dishwasher on, put the boxes with toys into the guestroom- don´t need to see toy cars, Lego and Playmobil for a while- and made me a cup of mulled wine, which I consumed in front of the TV (I am not an avid watcher of TV programme save from eight to ten in the evening). I think I´ve earned this! Besides, it´s already too cold inside and outside for my liking!
