Christmas Holidays etc...

Well, the kids have bounced between the Ex's and mine over the holiday period, thoroughly spoiled on all sides. They've had presents and sweets and too much food and excitement for what appears to be days.

Also, over the period they have watched a few movies. Among the Disney and comic-book stuff they have now also been exposed to Rob Reiner's "The Princess Bride" and the Frank/Panama movie and Danny Kaye vehicle "The Court Jester".

H hasn't mastered the chalice from the palace/vessel with the pestle/flagon with the dragon routine as yet, but at the moment he wanders around occasionally spouting "My name is Inigo Montoya; you killed my father - prepare to die." He is much smitten with that sentence.

There may be hope for the young man yet. I think my daughter is rather more smitten with Cary Elwes.
