lathanyWe got back yesterday from Christmas with the grandparents. This began in Cambridge (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bateleur's parents), on the night of bateleur's birthday when we arrived late having been working (and in Ryan's case at school) during the day. We were there until Monday lunchtime.
Saturday: The morning spent wandering around the parks trying not to get too damp. The afternoon in the house and the evening celebrating the birthday and Xmas. Dinner was roast lamb and the crackers had little musical whistles inside along with a music sheet. The idea was that you could play various tunes (including Happy Birthday and Jingle Bells) using the whistles. This was moderately successful, although some tunes were unrecognisable.
Sunday: We spent the morning at Josie's (bateleur's sister) and the afternoon at the Cambridge Arts Theatre watching the pantomime of Robin Hood. The show was rather good, once you accepted the whole "He's behind you!" and other bits of audience participation. In the evening, we watched Straw Dogs. I say we. The film reached the strangled cat and I left for bed.
On Monday lunchtime we travelled to Royston (my parents) and discovered that it was still unclear (there were two ambiguous emails) whetherchrestomancy was going to attempt a mad dash in his car to do presents (we discovered on Christmas morning that he thought he had been clear and was not coming).
Monday: A Thai meal in the evening at the rather excellent local Thai.
Tuesday: A walk around Royston in the morning and I made mince pies in the afternoon. Dinner was spaghetti bolognese and said mince pies.
Wednesday: Christmas! I cooked the dinner, we all opened presents and there was Dr Who in the evening (which I wasn't too impressed with. The whole 13th generation bit was pretty contrived. Actually most of it was pretty contrived).
Thursday: We headed for home and Reeve. Who was found asleep on my futon.
