Party Planning

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellows,

Today was much more chilled. Macca stopped by with her two kids and we had a mellow afternoon of lunch at the house. 

I like Macca and her family. They are good craic and they seem to like us too. They have even given us a "power couple" name* and say that we are the most fun to visit.

Their judgement may be influenced that they have just emerged from what sounds like a pretty stressful couple of days of family Xmas. "Why does it have to be like that?" asked Macca. "Why can't it just be like THIS instead?" she said, indicating the table we had laid out for the afternoon, the dessert and the wine (and ESPECIALLY the wine).

Long story short, we have ended up planning NEXT Xmas. In Wellington, in our new house (wherever it is). I've told them I will set up the garage as a games room slash cinema and we'll have Tiger, Loulou and Joshua over. 

"And we'll just make our apologies to our real families," said Caro.

"Yeah," agreed Macca. "Sorry, we already HAVE plans. Started making them the day after LAST Xmas, actually..."

It goes without saying that you are all invited.
