Little angels

We were at home again today, letting yesterday's enormous dinner settle. The kids overdosed on computer-time (Club Penguin and Build-a-Bear) all morning. In the afternoon the entire Exile family came over for Anglo-American refreshments - chocolate brownies washed down with Tetley tea.

The Man adds... Several neighbours have used the spare time afforded by the Thanksgiving holiday to install "snow poles" - 6 foot tall fluorescent sticks, intended to indicate their property boundaries even after the plows have created huge banks of snow alongside the road. A chilling reminder of what's to come.

Meanwhile, in the mail today we received school reports about two pupils, oddly enough with the same names as our kids, who sound positively angelic. It would be nice to meet them some time.
