1. A fry-up we’ve been anticipating all week doesn’t disappoint.
2. We try a new (both to us, and in general) restaurant for dinner. It’s a little too busy and shiny-shiny to be a mainstay but it’s surprisingly good value and we all enjoy our meals.
3. Another new game. It seems like it’s going to be too complicated – all the different pieces and phases are a little offputting – but we get into the swing of it eventually. (Though it does end up with S playing for M as well, after she falls asleep, and me playing for John because he doesn’t quite follow what he has to do.)
3b. Strange initially bolts but then returns and sits on M. Both Strange and I need to learn the same lesson really: that new people may seem terrifying at first but when you give them the chance, they’re nice, have warm laps and are willing to stroke you until you fall asleep. (Ok, perhaps the specific lesson outcomes diverged.)
