Had a chaotic dinner last night at the ancestral home in South Queensferry.
There were 18 people there, including a gang of noisy nieces.
Selected adults were ordered to take part in a variety show after dinner. Resistance was useless.
I performed my tried and tested "disappearing handkerchief" routine to (what I thought was) general astonishment. I have to admit though to being slightly deflated to discover that Amy (aged 5) had assessed me as the "6th Best Magician" she had ever seen.
I obviously need to do some work to break into that exclusive "top 5" place.
It was good fun though, and I like the mad energy that all the kids bring with them when they visit.
