Ponyplops is eventually going to get company, though she is in love with Misty and Ted next door.
Broadband and a phone line coming today.
Our guests are an old school friend and his wife. He is a deputy head in secondary and is sooo stressed he drank us ( inveterate boozers ) under the table last night and behaved like an !!!!. Fortunately we are old friends so I could tell him he was being an !!!! and send him to bed!
