A busy few days.

Friday 28th Sam & Paul & Siun arrived. Put Siun to be and we all sat up chatting til about midnight before the girls went to bed. Paul and I stayed up and polished off an entire litre of Lamb's Rum (thanks Conor) til about 3, then were both up about 3 hours later giving bottles to Sylvie & Siun. We sat on the sofa watching Iggle Piggle and Macka Packa (if you've done it you know, if you haven't you don't care...). It was Niamh's birthday so we opened champagne for breakfast (there was also some porridge) and started to feel 'good' again. (Ha!).

Off to the London Eye. Had some sort of champagne/vip/fast-track ticketey things so were all very pleased to skip the 3 hour queues and to top up the blood-alcohol levels. Beautiful sunshine, great views, and Joe loved 17 minutes of the 20 minute 'flight' then spent 3 minutes having a random tantrum banging against the doors (clearly marked 'Do NOT lean against the doors') while Niamh tried not to look terrified.
