We had a small "open house" last night, with visitations from Michael and Joy from across the way, with their two children, and later from Simon and Katie (from two doors down) and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bellinghman and bellinghwoman, who saw in the New Year with us.
The two children were an interesting contrast in their attitude to the dogs: the elder was terrified, because he'd had a bad experience, and Faldo is at least twice his size, but the younger wasn't worried at all by them, and gave us a "need a camera" moment by falling asleep propped up on Faldo. Samson was off in his crate, because he's a bit too bouncy for them.
In other news, I changed the catflap (again) for a less broken version, so it's staying shut in windy conditions again. The Rayburn lit yesterday morning, but isn't burning properly - after more than a day, it's up to 200 degrees F, which should really have taken it less than an hour. I foresee a visit in the near future...
