Visitors and Graduation begins

Well, I am back at work, G has graduated and I survived the in-law visit unscathed!! Mentally and physically exhausted but without any major foot in mouth moments, which for me is a big deal!

Well, MIL and BIL arrived first, we sat and had a gossip and ate my simply delicious soup and homemade bread. The house was clean and tidy and fresh flowers were sprinkled about the place.

I come over a bit domestic goddessy at times when we have guests. (I don’t think that is too bad a picture with my poor little camera. I really felt the lack of something decent at graduation I can tell you!)

Then G and BIL decided that a game of cricket was in order, now remembering that the weather wasn’t exactly great on Sunday they had to play indoors, in my hallway, in my rather small house! So a few ground rules were laid down.

1) If the bat hits the wall, game over
2) If the ball hits the ceiling, game over
3) If I think it is too loud, game over
4) If I get hit with the ball, game over.

I think they managed to enjoy themselves though.

Then my FIL arrived. We all went out for dinner and then came home for an early night as we had to be up at 6am (!!!!) the next day to get into London for G’s graduation.
