...and listened to some Haydn and Prokofiev...
Then, with Anne off out with her mum, I did some filing...
Then, to compiling an imaginary concert by the original Alice Cooper Group, utilising the three live recordings included in the deluxe reissues of "Killer", School's Out" and "Billion Dollar Babies"...
At 4, this soundtracked our drive out to Penicuik for a family tea, with nephew Andy, wife Tori and kids Dougie and Lockie all up from Leeds to celebrate Andy's eldest, Kerr's 19th, along with sister Sheila, nephew Ali, his wife Julie and son Harris...
Here, one of Harris' trainers...
Ali's family...
We discovered Harris doesn't like bean juice...
Lockie was just fine with it though...
Ali, Kerr and Andy went for a rather large Chinese Takeaway order...
...while the children had their tea prepped by Sheila for the first sitting...
Dougie's hair was looking good...
Harris likes to copy him...
Post Chinese delights, Kerr's chocolate cake was also looking good...
...but the kitchen was not, due to the amount of clearing up required - I'm sure Sheila's children and grandchildren would be helping her with that...
A family pic, courtesy nephew Andy...
Pictures of the four boys were also required....
...before things calmed down...
By 8:30, Harris was "roasting" - in fact, he opined "I'm roasting every day!"...
Much to his mum's delight...
Shortly afterwards, he was in his bed and we were back home...
Highlight of the Day : Family tea...
