We held our "house-cooling" party yesterday afternoon; put a bunch of stuff we're not shipping back on the table, cracked open the booze, and invited a bunch of friends. Good times -- although many people brought wine with them, so I think we've actually now got more alcohol than before the party -- which wasn't the idea at all! However, we did get rid of some magazines, a bag, the automatic pump for the air matress, and we scored some great chocolates, the afore-mentioned wine, and some very cute Amsterdammatje salt and pepper pots. Result! And we got to see our friends in probably our most relaxed setting of the next 3 weeks. Another result!
Our guests were extremely well-behaved, particularly Beyshen and Alex. No flame-throwing this time, oh no. At the first sign of over-excitement (perhaps the result of ingesting and then drooling chocolate mini eggs), we sat them down for the sedative power of television. But not for them Bob de Bouwer or Postman Pat. They got classic 70s BBC programming in the shape of The Clangers. They were entranced by Major Clanger, Small Clanger, Tiny Clanger, the Soupdragon, and the Iron Chicken. Entranced! And Beth looked pretty interested, too.
Good times, good times. Sniff.

Make no mistake! I was entranced... especially by the Iron Chicken
