The People Are Coming
Just another relaxed day 
Freddy continues to be a fan of washing dishes; I wonder how long that will last 
I asked the kids if they wanted scrambled eggs or French toast for lunch - they agreed on French toast, then someone asked “What’s French for French toast?” Jack knew half the answer: “The first bit is easy! It’s français!” 
I said “Oh, is it?” I said - to which he replied, “Oui!” 
I ran out of nappies for Toby, so he spent most of the day wearing a towel, folded and nippa-d. Scratchy brought more with him tonight, but all those we’d brought with us on Monday had been used by yesterday (as we’d only planned to stay until Wednesday) and I’m too cheap to pay £2 for a token for the washing-machines - so I washed some out, but of course that meant they were much wetter than they’d be if they were spun-dry, so they took ages to dry.
Quite a few more people arrived on site this evening; I think I heard more voices in five minutes this evening than I’d heard in the previous two days. Although we enjoyed the solitude and quiet, it’s also nice to have more people around; the boys are certainly enjoying having other kids to play with, and Jack has made a friend whose surname is the same as one of our neighbours, so he’s convinced they’re cousins. He says he asked him about the address and he said his cousin lived there, but since he’s only three years old, his information might not be entirely reliable
Scratchy brought the boys’ bicycles up this evening too - we’d planned to bring them on Monday but forgot - and they’ve had a great time flying about the site on those
A while after the boys went to bed, George came out to tell us that Freddy had thrown up - which he had, and how! We had to take everything from the top bunk, including the mattress. He was a bit shaky for a while, but he seems to have recovered.
