Friday Night Sleepovers

     When I met Ford and Asha at school this afternoon, Ford and his friend Nicolas announced that they had a plan to ask Nicolas's mother if Ford could spend the night at Nicolas's house.  They went and asked her permission and she readily agreed (or so I am told).  So I took Ford straight to Nicholas's house (which is in the country . . . they raise grapes for a living).  Nicholas's mother said to pick him up tomorrow at 5:00 (I think).  I told her that she was very agreeable, thank you, and Averil utilize telephone for communicate with her on tomorrow.

     So much for Ford . . . .  At least we still had Asha to keep us company for the night. 

     But not five minutes after we walked in the door, Asha got a phone call from her friend Manon.  Fortunately, I was there to record the action live!  (Turn up the volume and you can hear Manon on the other end).

    

     So now they've each gone off for a sleepver.  Oh well.  We'll concentrate on other things. 

     Like staying warm:

We Ordered a Load of Firewood To Be Delivered Next Week!

      Drying laundry the low tech way:

     Finding a new anti-dog-on-sofa device since this one doesn't seem to be working out:

     Messin' with Sasquatch:

     Contemplating the mistral that hit this afternoon:

 

     And uploading old videos, such as this exciting clip in which Ford has phoned a friend to ask for advice about homework:

     Bon Weekend!
