May you have an interesting weekend..

Old Chinese curse (Paraphrased).

Hazel and I went shopping on Saturday, nearly missed Ian and Lulu. Sal came around later to see them and did miss them. Hazel and I went to see them at the flat on Sunday instead. They both said they enjoyed their birthday gifts but Ian was a bit under the weather and Lulu was somewhat upset as well. They went to a party on the Saturday night and there was a big family row. Ian and Lulu ended up comforting all the little ones and just trying to keep some semblance of propriety. Both they and Wendy are outraged by the behaviour of the rest of the family and Nicki wants to take her dad to task as he was responsible for Keane and forgot all about him when the disturbance  began. Alfy was looking very sorry for himself as well but his concern is to do with his stomach more than anything else. The diet is biting hard and he doesn't like it.

The bedroom sat system failed this morning without bad weather so I must assume that the dish has moved in the wind again.
Russ and I tested the ooVoo video chat system on Saturday and we were quite impressed. It works as well as Skype but the display is, from our point of view at least, somewhat better and easier to work with. In light of the rumours circulating about the possible demise of Skype, we are thinking we may move to ooVoo permanently.
