the Freeden lasses

Loads of fun today at Niall's 40th up at Mhor 84 in Balquiddher.

We hadn't caught up with Susan and Ivan for quite some time so it was nice to share a hire car with them for the drive there and back.

There were over 40 folks at the lunch and Dexter showed off with his eating skills managing to get butternut squash all over him. He had particularly ginger eyebrows for the rest of the day. Lots of familiar faces and delicious food. A few folks did a turn - songs, magicians etc. Here are the beautiful Freeden sisters singing a wee ditty for Niall. We had planned to do a bit - 40 jokes for Niall to guess the punchlines for - but a combination of Sam being completely wabbit, Dexter getting unsettled and the realisations that Dex hates applause even more than he hates hand dryers, meant that we had to pull out. Shame. It was going to be good.

We were pretty stunned when Dexter stayed awake throughout the entire hour and a half drive home, despite clearly being shattered. There's just no telling with him.
