Preparing for the Invasion

Tomorrow our daughter tells us she is coming to lunch.  This includes husband and offspring.  A suitable flag is raised for the occasion, and the croquet lawn prepared for young players (not fair to make them play through six inch long grass is it??).
 
I all fairness it’s our Granddaughter’s ninth burpday today, (actually she’s to young for a burpday, or to old, so it must be a birthday .  .  . ) and our daughter has laid on a massive party with thousands of friends (fifteen) so they are coming to ours tomorrow to recover.
