Simon and Beaver joined Jennie and I for a nightcap on the Mews. (No Beaver name yet. Mother gave us Clive, which is being heavily considered)
Jen is not afraid of showing her affection for Simon to the world. I think if I placed a hidden camera in the kitchen (Jen's office) then I would find disturbing footage of Jen talking incessantly to Simon. She would be complaining about me, singing show tune duets with Simon, making up dance routines, gossiping about The Archers to him......
Adding Beaver to the mix could play out one of two ways. He breaks up their little hen party and Jen stops talking to the stuffed animals. Or, more likely, Beaver becomes a co-conspirator and they collude daily against me in three part harmony.

Simon and Beaver eyeing Robert and new neighbour Yannis suspiciously.
Fox Bum Hug.
Robert is constantly amused (disturbed) by our animal games. He actually was the one who asked us to bring them out to show Yannis. Although he called Simon 'William', clearly getting me mixed up with our fox.
We actually had a lovely evening. We brought home Chinese food and ate on the picnic table, chatting with our neighbours and passer-bys. Jen made more beaver jokes, which Robert egged on. Yannis, who owns a shipping repair business, told us of his world travel. He posited that Indonesia's flexible moral society makes Amsterdam look like a kindergarten.
Yannis knows nothing of pop culture but is up on current events and a wiz at geography. Pub quiz recruit, for sure.
