I remember my 12th birthday party mostly because we played the Safari's 45 rpm "Surfer Joe" (B side of Wipeout) until about 4:00 am in the morning. My Dad only came in once to ask us if we couldn't vary the music mix a bit. Very restrained of him I now think.
Fortunately, Charles and his friends either had more options for entertainment or were just less obsessive-compulsive. They started the party with a game of soccer, or "foot" as the French call it. This might have tired them out a bit. Then they went back for ping-pong, pizza and (the next morning) pancakes. They claim they got 4-6 hours of sleep and probably an equal number of hours of video games. The good news from our point of view, is that we got almost 8 hours of sleep ourselves -- more than my parents got 36 years ago, I suspect.
Charles' friend Thomas had such a good time that he has asked his parents' if he can do the same next weekend. So Charles gets to do it all over again too -- at someone else's house.

WOT might a PIROGUE be, kindly explain. Edible one presumes? Technicolour? Indigestible? Terminal? Rejuvenating? Would we want one if we were offered one? By the way we are Extremely Offended that our Big River Cabin had to come via Alison. WE ARE STILL ALIVE AND OCCASIONALLY KICKING, and hope you'll be coming our way one day soon. Love Janet and Martin
