Undaysay
Spent most of the morning mooching about and generally getting nothing done, but did manage to sit down and work out some plans for ejookashunal stuff this afternoon. We managed to polish off all the leftovers from yesterday - particularly Barney, who had pasta salad for breakfast (in preference over bagels, which is quite a shock, because he does like his bagels…) and discovered he loved chili at lunch and would have had more if there had been any to have.
Barney spent most of the afternoon writing fiction - he’s really getting into writing now. I’m always impressed with what he writes - it’s really good. The others watched a couple of movies this afternoon; I’ve been thinking about whether it would be worth our while getting a freeview box, but am very put off by cost - of box, of tv licence, of recording device of some sort which would then be a necessity…
Barney and George have been chatting away in pig latin, much to Scratchy’s disgust because he can’t figure it out 
I’m told they read about it in an Agent Z book and worked out the details for themselves. So there’s been lots of “ummymay isay otnay aay ittway” and the like going on. Freddy is doing his best, but he tends to stick one “ay” on at the end of each sentence, rather than doing it word by word, which does reduce its effectiveness as a secret language somewhat 
I discovered that there are several on-line translation services for pig latin (!) - and you can even get google in pig latin - when I showed Barney the latter, his response was “awesomeay!”
All is peaceful now, as everyone’s asleep except me. Eythay ustmay avehay eenbay iredtay

re freeview - you can get a box that is a decoder adn a recording thingie combined. Works out slightly cheaper than buying the box and a decent VCR I think. To be honest though, there’s not a terrific lot on Free unless you are after such delights as Cebeebies/CBBC channels and endless chanels of repeats.
Still the cost of the tv license though - right now we don’t need one. And I must admit that I’d be trying to avoid the kids’ channels - blergh! But I’m not having anything to do with Sky, so it’s Freeview or nothing!
Just testing my log in.
