Little Lewis turned out to be as cute as advertised, running his mum (Eldest Niece EN hereafter) ragged when not napping. This is one seriously hungry little fellow, he glugs down on his milk in the same style that EN’s brother glugs down a pint of Guiness.
EN’s man returns just before five and needs to send a quote to a customer, so to “speed” things up she transfers it to her work laptop to send out over her broadband connection. This turns out to be a major mistake, on the first attempt Outlook locks up and loses her email, 2nd attempt - same result but the message has been saved.
I suggest rebooting and letting it cool down for a bit before trying again - major mistake. Fifteen minutes later EN fires it up gets the dreaded “Invalid System Disk” message. So she rings her company’s tech support guys and explains the problem and gets the reply “Do you have a small Phillips screwdriver? You need to remove the battery and then try jiggling the hard drive, then see if it works”
EN’s man heads off with a gleam in his eye, EN meantime cannot wait and waggles her laptop in the air and then tries rebooting and it works! Message is sent by the time her man returns with screwdrivers and is very disappointed that he does not get to dismantle it.
The wee man goes to bed not long after six thirty and her man settles him down while EN prepares our dinner (Aberdeen Angus sirloin steaks, pepper sauce and veggies). As Lewis is going to be on formula milk overnight and tomorrow morning she decides that my visit is the perfect excuse to have her first glass of red wine for five months.
Dinner was most excellent and the pair of them manage to sit up until ten thirty (bedtime has been nine for the last three weeks). EN remembered me telling her back in August that I had found my video copies of the last series of Buffy but that it did not include the final episode so before retiring she cues up the last DVD for me.
I am amazed that she managed to remember that what with lack of sleep and learning how to cope with her new arrival. End up watching all three shows so it is after one before I head off to catch some some sleep.
Anyhow here are some pics of the wee man first one is mine (the other two I took were too blurred), the next two are of him at five days.:
Note for EN, manage to pick up a bottle of your Export IPA on the way back so I will feature it at a later date.

He's a handsome fella. :)
Your niece remembered because when she knew you were going to visit she tried to think of something nice to do for you. Well, that's my guess.
rt said what I was gonna: he's a handsome boy.
Yum... steak and red wine sounds lovely.
