C-7 summit: the black hole of loooooooooooooooooooove
She is down for a coupla weeks and so far alles gut. huh. also down last weekend were all the maternal cousins. now this is somehting that hasnt happened in a long time, the seven of us under one roof at one time. Eldest had also smuggled [i use the word deliberately, since he told noone she was coming and if Second-Youngest hadn't blabbed it might have been an awkward weekend] his spanking new surpise-to-universe fiancee to join us.
but let us begin at the beginning. which is a little before the actual summit began. friday night saw reunion with lifesaver friends who had run off to the andamans in august last year; twas our first outing, to our usual shady haunt, in over 6 months. saturday morning saw MinCat rising blearily at 6am and staggering downstairs to demand tea. after waking up she decided not to awaken She cos just perhaps she was sleeping off her jetlag. but, 3 min to departure and She wakes up all by her ownsome and we head off to the station. some juggling of the car in the parking lot and a small circuit of the station results in pickup of E, SY and fiancee. SY is now some 7ft tall and shaves, to MinCat's extreme shock, since it merely forces her to accept her own state of decrepitude. you see, she toilet trained him and taught him to read. well honestly, MinCat was more the able assistant of She in the process.
Upon arrival at Chez MinCat, bathroom negotiations commenced and She and Herself left to get the next batch from the station: Youngest and Third-Youngest. FYI MinCat is Middle and She is Second-Eldest. in their absence, Third-Eldest showed up and began distibuting largesse which incluses giant pencils, a ball that laughs manically [yes yes snigger snigger] and several books, two destined for MinCat [YAY!!! we loves you TE!!]. Second batch return and atlast all the rogues are together in the same place. the madness begins.
to spare our sensitive readers we shall draw a discreet veil over the proceedings of the rest of the weekend, merely stating that it included one hilarious game of dumb charades, younger siblings vs elder ones with SY hopping teams at will, and later a visit to local cinema to regale ourselves with the glory that is 36 China Town and generally behave like hooligans, followed by the Incident of the Lizard in the car on the way home.
a truly well spent weekend.
