Playing games

My cousin Patrick arrived from Singapore on Friday and our good friend Stephen who's over from the UK joined us too.  Patrick invited some mates, Johnny & Amelia, over for a bbq on Friday night and we had a great time meeting them and their children.  The evening ended after quite a few bottles of wine and a stellar game of Cranium in which the girls won (of course!).  

Stephen, Tom, Jules, Patrick, Tess, Lenka

Jules in his hoodie

We spent most of Saturday at the beach surfing and boogie boarding with a fish & chip picnic lunch to keep our strength up.  Jules showed off his very smart "hoodie" which is a towel like garment that allows you to get changed on the beach whilst protecting your modesty!

 Custard in the lead

Custard on the lead because he'd just run away!

It was a slow start on Sunday after a serious night out on the tiles for Stephen, Jules and I.  There was more beach action including a fun couple of hours down at Davis Marina with Custard.  The kids were a bit put out when he kept beating them in swimming races.  

Robert clearly in trouble

In the evening Robert came round for dinner and we finished with a couple of rounds of Rummikub.  Patrick won both of them which we claimed was beginners luck.
