Year Of The Ram

So, here it is;
the Year of the Ram/Sheep/Goat, whichever mutton source takes your fancy.
A planned 2 party day, turns into a de facto 3 party day as the friends of GirlCogs and BoyCogs manage to almost entirely avoid contact with one another while sharing the same house & food. This impressive feat is achieved through disciplined and dedicated employment of the 'Door In The Face' technique.
The image above shows how eight teenagers can enjoy themselves without the hindrance of parental supervision. We had a similar view of the six 12 year olds in another room.

Neighbours come around in the evening with gifts of food, drink, eye contact and conversation!
