rosa_heartlilyWe had a lovely time celebrating grandson #2's birthday, today. All our presents went down well. The 'not quite Duplo' blocks we got were a particular hit - he held two of the blocks next to each other, clearly knowing that they connected to each other but not actually connecting them. Then he put them all back in the bag without being told! He also got over enthusiastic and added a ball of wrapping paper for good measure ;D
Then we brought out his cake with a '1' candle that daddy helped him to blow out. And he ended up with chocolate cake all over his face and sat on a chunk of it, too. We have some adorable pictures to embarrass him with in about 15 years.
There was also good news for grandson #1 who passed his theory test on the first try. One of his mates has failed it 10 times... He's now looking at buying his first car! Still needs to pass the practical, of course.
Spent this afternoon playing R&C:RA. I'm getting more comfortable with it, but some of the weapons leave me scratching my head. What are the gloves for...? The animation is really smooth, though. And Clank has his own part to play in the story, which is nice. I really know nothing about this franchise, other than Ratchet is supposed to be the last Lombax but then Rivet turns up. She looks SO like a colleague of mine, even down to her hair. But I feel like I do know them. I certainly want to see how the story progresses, anyway.
And I played Rooms: The Main Building on the Nintendo DS in the bath this morning and that's definitely working for me, so I'll carry on with it. I found a few spare game cartridges in my carry case, which need to go back in their respective boxes at some point.
Not much else happened today, but that's a good Saturday in my book.
