Remember the French exchange of nearly 18 months ago? The entente cordiale? Drunken antics in the rockery? T and his Pierre Lapin tissues?
Well, they're back. Four of them. And we're hosting N. Not that we've seen much of him so far, as the boys have been out til late or sleeping over elsewhere (they were out camping last night - brrr!) - rising only to make a traditional English fry-up and then going straight back off to the Land of Nod. Still I'm quite thrown by his good manners. When he is in evidence he wishes us Good Morning politely, compliments me on my cooking (if you'd experienced Cuisine Miffy you'd appreciate that his folks have obviously taught him about displaying tact in the face of adversity), and at mealtimes engages in polite conversation in good English.
Not to mention tolerates sharing little M's bedroom with a gerbil and a Bearded Dragon, and boxes of locusts and crickets. It can get quite noisy in there at times. And, best of all, Miffdog comes not as a surprise. He has his very own Miffdog at home. As Ms Miff said on the phone just now when I told her - Send little Miff back and let's keep him! ;)
