Children/adults

N's birthday party was pretty much a carbon-copy of A's - a few friends, ice-skating, home for pizza, another great Liz-created cake, a bit of playtime outside - so all fairly easy on the organizing front. Then stuck them in front of a DVD while us adults - two Brits, two Malaysians and an Argentinian - sat round the table drinking, snacking & talking about the recently demised Margaret Thatcher. Our South American friend wasn't exactly grieving. 
What a strange social life we lead.
