It's Saturday December 19th and I'm enjoying the little lads as Joe and Ali go out to do some jobs. Ferg, Monty and I are sitting on stools in a circle and Monty falls off his, so Ferg gives him how own stool and goes to get another for himself. Then he uses the tippy as a table and puts a tiny poinsettia on it because "it's light as a feather". "Voila" he says "all decorated!"
So there we are at the Budgie Cafe (so named because of the mechanical budgie which oversees it= but it has had to be turned off because it is too noisy) and we are drinking plum tea and chatting. Kate turns up and is offered a cushion by Ferg. Then Randy turns up so Ferg gets him a cushion too and shows him around the Budgie cafe, calling him by name every two seconds (very impressive since Kyle didn't get past "that guy"). He's very talkative and is demonstrating how one serves as a waiter with one hand and the thumb has to be kept down so as not to tip the plate.

Then he's telling us about a computer game he has..".it has...er......robots....er....a movie....er.....games..er.....activities.....and hours of non-stop excitement" - all delivered deadpan. We laughed so hard and you could see his face trying to figure out how he'd made us laugh. He was quite pleased with the result though.
