Kenna had a wish to fish before 6am. Brett was haunting one of the headstones when she went out. You can probably tell that one of them is askew.
They sky had lightened up quite a bit by the time Brett emerged and still Kenna had caught no fish. I had her stop and go back to bed since she had already got her wish.
Jordan appeared just before sun up. I believe he also came very late the last time he visited.
I saw Brett and John chatting while Greg floated nearby.
Jordan went straight to the rocker.
Brett checked on his son, Niall
Greg broke space rocks and left a few more gems for the family.
Someone woke up in a mood!
Don't give me that look, young man!
Someone was haunting the chair but, without going into map view, I couldn't tell who. I didn't want to go into map view because it takes the house so long to render when I do.
It was Jordan!
Cain's waking wish was to find some seeds. He was running out the door to do just that when I noticed Brett come over to chat with Jordan so I incorporated both in the pic
Lachie's waking wish was to donate to undermine a cause. He actually had two wishes - one to donate and one to donate §100.
Rory's waking wish was to grow a tomato plant. When he had planted the seed, I had him help Lachie with the gardening. Both boys got wishes to level up
Cain had rolled another wish to spar with Kenna. I don't remember when but I locked it in knowing he would get his wish before she left.
Lonnie's waking wish was to learn a new recipe so I gave him the recipe for ratatouille.
Lonnie also rolled a wish to prepare pancakes after breakfast
I saw Niall heading out to chat with Jordan
Lonnie had been fishing when Kenna finished sparring and she went straight out to kiss him I knew that they would start a family quickly courtesy of SP so I moved them when they finished their kiss.
Rory was working towards his wish to paint something worth §150. He got it when he finished his painting Cain and Niall were being their usual frisky selves and I felt bad when Niall rolled a wish to have a baby with Cain and I had to cancel it. The boys will be elders in a day or two Lachie, with no-one to bother, played chess as evil geniuses do
The house was too empty so I invited Marisa and Alvin over I was surprised when the first thing both couples did was to talk!
What serious post-woohoo faces! LOL
I saw that Lachie had moved on from chatting
I heard Cain flinging himself into Niall's arms from the other room! LOL
My favourite part of the animation is the dismount
I saw "be proposed to" in Rory's queue and decided I would just let them have it since I can't watch them exclusively!
Niall and Cain went their separate ways. Cain broke boards while Niall danced
He fell over! LOL
The teens must have been working from the same script because both couples woohooed at the same time!
Niall has a wish to master cooking locked in so that means he has to cook. I know he would prefer to dance but the wish won't grant itself!
I'd completely forgotten Rory was a party animal because I don't recall him dancing before. I've seen him turn on the stereo every time he comes into the room but I am pretty sure this is the first time he has danced. Of course, I could be having a senior moment
I found Marisa reading in the bedroom.
Cain had been breaking thin stone blocks when I got the popup that he had got the Timber Terminator Challenge so I had him switch to space rocks.
Since Alvin will be husband to the heir, I had Lachie play kicky bag with him so he could get a start on the athletic skill.
I saw woohoo in Rory's queue and found him and Marisa on their way to the tent. I laughed when I saw Rory was running - eager!
Good Lord - they really are doing things to some sort of timetable.
When Lachie finished his shower he went over to chat with Marisa. I could hear Rory yelling that he couldn't get out because the door was blocked!
The family and guests enjoyed Cain's favourite, fish and chips, for dinner
Marisa couldn't get to the dishwasher because both Rory and Lachie wanted to chat with Alvin.
The kids watched the stars. At least, Marisa and Rory did. Lachie and Alvin watched the side of the house.
Lachie: "This will all be ours one day! Bwah ha ha"
Cain and Niall watched the stars by the MA equipment. I changed Cain into his every day clothes before taking the pic
I had the kids send their partners home as it was getting late and it was a weeknight. Lachie had a wish to learn the recipe for fish and chips and I gave Rory the multitab so he could get his gardening level wish.
Once he set up the tabcast he got up and danced
Cain started breaking boards again so Niall came in to dance.
Oopsie! There is a mod to stop falling when doing the club dance but I don't think I will get it
Beathan visited this time
After haunting one of the headstones he got into the hot tub
Beathan was still in the hot tub when I loaded my save. He stayed there for most of his visit apart from a little haunting before he returned to the netherworld. Only one ghost visiting seems weird to me now! The family came to breakfast unaware that they had had a ghostly visitor.
Niall's waking wish was to water the plants and Lachie was working towards his wish to level up locked in the previous day. He was just shy of leveling up when the bus arrived. I had him fertilize one plant when he got home from school and he got his wish
Cain's waking wish was to learn a new recipe. I could have given him a recipe for cookies which he could read quickly but decided to give him a foreign recipe using MC. I had him try his hand at archery. He didn't bother getting dressed for it
After eating crepes for breakfast, Niall rolled a wish to prepare some. He also had a wish to prepare fish and chips from the previous evening. By the time he finished cooking he mastered the cooking skill
Rory's waking wish was to have a sleepover. I don't do sleepovers so cancelled it. After he recycled the newspaper I let him do what he wanted until the school bus came. He chose to talk with Cain
When Rory left for school, Cain went straight to the board breaker. He reached level 9!
Niall finished off the gardening when he was done cooking.
I like Rory's recent painting
Cain went back to breaking boards but was interrupted in the middle of a wish to break a space rock when Niall finished gardening
With the hot tub and treehouse right by them, I have no idea why they chose to walk to the other side of the house to use the elevator
Cain went back to the board breaker so I had Niall try out the archery range and the violin
I had to turn down the volume while he tried the violin!
He thought it was humorous too
I saw the pool appear in his queue and knew that he was going to skinny dip although there is no description with the image.
He didn't skinny dip long and changed into his swimwear so he could play on the diving board.
I got a popup that Marisa was coming home from school with Lachie but when I checked she had art class. I stopped him before he got on the bus and teleported him home. I let him do his homework on the multitab.
He came home with a wish to set a booby trap
"You're going to reset the shower with Debug Enabler, aren't you?" Yep!
Lachie rolled a wish to use the telescope as the bus pulled away from the house. If you don't like what you see, don't look through windows!
Lachie also had a wish to visit the theatre and I let him have it since he got home early
Rory did his homework the old fashioned way when he got home from art class
Marisa arrived just as he finished his homework.
She tried to do her homework but Rory had other ideas
I found Cain and Niall in one of the bedrooms. They must have had enough woohoo because Niall was asking for a game of catch.
When Lachie got home from the theatre, I had him prepare a meal. He leveled up to 4
Marisa and Rory had some fun in the elevator.
The family enjoyed the grilled cheese that Lachie prepared
Cain rolled a wish to introduce himself to Marisa over dinner.
I'd totally forgotten about the interaction to goof around because my sims usually don't go much further than telling funny stories or making funny faces but both Niall and Rory having a good sense of humour must have triggered it
I watched Lachie like a hawk while he repaired the stereo. I did not want to lose my heir! He reached level 5 when he finished with the repair
Cain and Niall watched the stars by the MA equipment
Marisa and Rory from just outside the door.
Good job, Lachie!
Cain rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend when he introduced himself to Marisa
It was getting late so I had Rory ask Marisa to go home when I saw they were done.
Greg arrived shortly before I closed my game
@Mikezumi I can't post a pic of him right now, but when I remember to later today I will. Really enjoying the updates and looking forward to the next generation with Lachie and Alvin
Ah, here we go. I wasn't sure if it would work on the laptop that I'm using right now.
Under the spoiler is the pic I thought of when you first shared a pic of Alvin somewhere on page 19 of this thread.
Euan arrived shortly after I started my game
Greg, who had arrived before I closed my game, was breaking space rocks
Euan's first stop was the rocking chair.
Euan was haunting the plant in the corner when the boys arrived for breakfast.
He floated through Cain's breakfast as he and Niall were sitting down
Niall's waking wish was to weed and Lachie's to donate §250 to undermine a cause.
When Lachie had made his donation, I sent him to help his dad. He didn't roll a wish to level up but he will be taking over the gardening very soon.
Rory's waking wish was to hang out with his brother, Niall. He got his wish over breakfast He also rolled a wish to prepare waffles after breakfast
Cain's waking wish was to fish
Euan and Greg didn't interact while they were visiting but at least they had fun
Rory came out and chatted with Lachie when he had finished cooking. I'm glad Rory had a friend while he was growing up fatherless.
Niall joined Cain at the pond when he finished the gardening. "You haven't caught anything? I can't believe the Watcher sent you to the wrong spawner! I've heard rumours she was getting old and forgetful. It could be true!"
It's the boys' birthday so I decided to treat them to a day out. They stayed in the doorway of the bowling alley for the longest time.
I can't believe Niall actually massaged Cain for once! Beitris and her husband, Jeffrey arrived in time to witness it
Oliver also showed up. He was rudely booing Beitris while she bowled.
Niall took the first tumble
Beitris took the next
Again, Niall?
Niall had a couple more falls before Cain finally did.
Sister and brother in sync
Niall and Cain chatted with Beitris when they were done bowling. I was glad they did because I got a popup that she would be dying the next day
Rory had no after school activities so I sent him to the bowling alley when he finished school.
He got up and bowled when he finished his homework and took a spectacular dive!
Thankfully, his beautiful face escaped unscathed
Niall wandered off to make himself a quick drink.
Beitris' daughter, Stella, was bowling when Niall came back for Cain. I didn't see her arrive.
Lachie joined the family after Shop. He used his multitab to do his homework.
Morna arrived a little later. She's pregnant again and, although I didn't like her outfit, didn't bother to change it as I have seen worse.
Why are you reading, Lachie! Don't you know there's fun to be had at the bowling alley? Seriously! Genius sims read nearly as much as bookworms!
I saw Niall and Cain going upstairs and knew what they were up to!
"You didn't peek over my shoulder, did you?"
Lachie didn't get to read for long because Ernest Herrerra came over to tutor him. They had never met but the Irresistible trait means Lachie will never be lonely
I had to cancel the tutoring because the family were about to head out to the Bistro.
I don't know what went wrong, but Lachie came straight out again. His hunger bar was filling but not his fun and social bars
Even though his hunger bar was filling, I sent him back in to grab a meal. He socialized with a sim at a nearby table.
At least he wasn't left behind when the family went home.
It was getting late when the family got home and I didn't want the boys to age up automatically and possibly on their own. I had the family gather around and aged Cain up first.
Don't be scared, Cain! I don't neglect my elders!
Poor thing! It does hurt being old
It still hurts but at least he looks better
"Hey! This isn't so bad!"
Then it was Niall's turn!
If Cain can do it, so can you!
Okay, so your case is a little worse than Niall's
My boys have got loud shirts LOL
Rory enthused about comic books even though he has never read one! LOL
The boys watched the stars from the front door.
Lachie came home from school with a wish to play chess so I had the boys play together until it was time for bed. Lachie reached level 6
Sam visited just before I closed my game
Fife arrived just after I loaded my save
I didn't give Lachie is fishing wish the previous day so I let him do a pre-dawn fish instead. I saw that he could now fish for piranha so I had him fish with minnow to start the pirahna wish chain.
Sam had arrived just before I closed my game and when I saw them both in the same room, even though they weren't interacting, I thought it would make a good photo opp
After I took the photo Sam turned around to play the drums
And Fife went outside to fish
The boys had waffles for breakfast. Although they all had waking wishes, I cancelled them all because I had a surprise planned for them
Before I loaded my save I installed Traveler. The whole family were off to Bridgeport for a holiday Lachie would have aged up later that day and Rory on the next day. I love these boys too much as teens so this way I get to play them longer as teens and Niall and Cain get longer as elders
As soon as they arrived, Rory got hearts from someone in town. I won't be pursuing it and, although anything that happens in Bridgeport stays in Bridgeport, the sims are not up to my standard.
When Morna gave birth to her second child, another son, during the night, Niall rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
As soon as the boys arrived, I added the Duke of Bows venue to the town.
Rory had a wish to take a photo with a friend. No idea when he rolled it but I locked it in so I must meant for him to have it
The boys arrived in a group but I disbanded that shortly after arrival since I don't like groups and when Niall and Cain flirted I started getting those silly popups about them leaving the group.
Although Rory had never attempted to use the archery range at home he used it here. I am wondering if the range has a push in the code while on a community lot.
The boys did lots of chatting and had a couple of brief games of catch but I was disappointed that no-one else was showing up as the boys all had wishes to meet the locals.
I like the look of this venue a lot
After they had been at the venue for a few hours, I decided it was time to find some sims. I saw a bunch at the Butterfly Pavilion so I teleported them there. Unfortunately, Beau was leaving as my boys were arriving
Niall and Cain even got to boast about their grandkids
I saw another sim in Lachie's queue. There's no escaping that when a sim is irresistible.
I saw Marina complaining about something and I suspect it was art because she doesn't like art.
Cain and Rory were heading into the Pavilion to play catch but Niall stopped Cain before he got there. Since Rory was already there, I had him catch a butterfly
Although Beau was on his way home, Rory must have spotted him and rolled a wish to give him a friendly introduction. I teleported him over to Beau to do just that
Cain must have spotted him too and rolled a wish to meet a vampire. Done!
When the boys had their introductions I sent them all to Eugi's.
Cain and Niall rolled wishes to have a drink - granted!
Beau called Cain for a chat!
Lachie continued to attract sims, Rory danced and Niall played a game.
I sent the teens to have a drink as well
When it was getting close to dinnertime, I had Rory try to order pizza at the bar. Every time he tried the mixologist would reset so I sent them to the Bistro for dinner.
The grown ups watched the stars after dinner
The teens played catch in the dark
The house could do with a little more light as well!
While Lachie tutored Rory, Niall and Cain were woohooing upstairs before going to sleep
I forgot to pack perfect produce so the boys had to eat breakfast at the Diner.
When I realized that I had forgotten to pack, I placed my community garden in a nearby lot. I sent the boys to harvest enough for their stay. Many hands make light work and the boys were back home by 9.30
Niall's waking wish was to eat a perfect quality meal. I had him prepare some food for the fridge so his next meal would be perfect
Lachie was up to his old tricks
I bought the MA training equipment for Cain earlier in the day and was surprised that he went inside to hug Lachie instead of working out.
Rory's waking wish was to call Beau Merrick
I had Lachie make some Stink Juice Potion to keep in his inventory because I wanted to see if he would do anything with it autonomously because of his evilness
Cain finally found the board breaker because Niall was preparing two meals and the boys were busy.
I sent the boys swimming to work on their athletic skill.
Cain and Niall didn't want to swim - they wanted to skinny dip! LOL
After swimming for a while, Lachie decided to try his hand at diving. His first ever dive was impressive!
A little later, Rory used the diving board on his side of the pool. His dive wasn't as spectacular but at least he didn't fail
Don't open your eyes, Rory!
I always worry when my sim kids swim too long so I had the boys get out. They decided to relax in the hot tub and I was fine with that
Niall has rolled many a wish to throw a party throughout his life and I have cancelled them all. I decided he should finally get his wish
Bronson Littler and Richie Striker were the first to arrive.
I don't remember inviting Jessica Talon and Lil Bling!
Beau Merrick and Apollo Bloom also came
Lachie and Beau were getting on well. They were probably plotting evil together
I saw this from the corner of my eye and didn't see what Apollo was saying but I know he has bad traits and wasn't sorry when he left immediately after.
I thought Beau looked sad He probably has dim memories of a past life where he and Marina were romantic interests. Of course he is so gay now that she could flirt for the next 20 human years and wouldn't sway him
I laughed when both Marina and Lachie turned to look at Niall when he introduced himself to Beau. There was something about their expressions that tickled my funny bone
I went looking for Cain and found he had started dinner without the family!
It looks like Rory just discovered that Jessica is a daredevil
I didn't have any plasma fruit but didn't worry about Beau because I maxed his motives when he arrived
The boys watched the stars from the back deck I added a lamp in the corner but it is still very dark - much darker than SV.
I think Marina was the only guest who danced.
I was beginning to think that Wogan would never arrive!
"It feels like someone is watching us!"
"I'm scared!"
It wasn't long before Wogan and the boys were friends I didn't take pics but there were lots of floating hearts!
When I saw Rory dancing on his own, I sent Lachie in to keep him company.
The boys ended the night with woohoo. I had to stop them a few times during the party but I let them go once the guests had gone.
I loved the way Niall turned to look at Lachie when he cackled maniacally as they came down to breakfast
I sent the boys to the Buena Vista Resort for a few hours for a bit of fishing and relaxation
I added a couple of whack-a games and had the boys test them out. Although they had fun they didn't go back to them. I could see Niall getting ready to skinny dip through the door!
Lachie got 6,000 points and Rory got 12,000.
Cain joined Niall in the hot tub
Why are you reading a book instead of stealing your dads' clothes? So much for being evil!
It's nearly impossible to see the fish in the waters of Bridgeport. I had to use Niall's Collection Helper to locate the fish by the glow.
Niall didn't wet himself - that is a woohoo puddle
I don't know who instigated it but I found Niall and Cain playing catch.
When the boys had fished the spawner dry, I released them and Rory immediately asked Lachie for a game of catch. I was a little confused when I saw them running.
I have no idea where they planned to go to play catch but I cancelled it!
I sent them back to the lot and when they tried again they stayed put.
Because some of the boys rolled wishes to meet new sims, I sent them over the bridge to a park. He can see you coming, Lachie!
Niall didn't react much probably because he knew what his son was up to or his face is frozen as happens from time to time Rory was getting to know Suzy Strummer in the background.
Cain rolled a wish to give Hyacinth Atkins a friendly introduction. I should check if Retuner can make that autonomous although I don't think I want my sims autonomously introducing themselves to NPCs I think I see a game of catch in Niall and Lachie's near future
Matilda Smart approached Lachie for a chat. I think Rory and Suzy were about to play catch but it got cancelled somehow.
Niall also wanted to introduce himself to Hyacinth and he also got to boast about his grandkids
Matilda got pushed aside when Caroline Custard started chatting with Lachie.

Even though his hunger bar was filling, I sent him back in to grab a meal. He socialized with a sim at a nearby table.
At least he wasn't left behind when the family went home.

Don't be scared, Cain! I don't neglect my elders!
Poor thing! It does hurt being old
It still hurts but at least he looks better
"Hey! This isn't so bad!"
Then it was Niall's turn!
If Cain can do it, so can you!
Okay, so your case is a little worse than Niall's
My boys have got loud shirts LOL
Rory enthused about comic books even though he has never read one! LOL
The boys watched the stars from the front door.
Lachie came home from school with a wish to play chess so I had the boys play together until it was time for bed. Lachie reached level 6
Sam visited just before I closed my game

I didn't give Lachie is fishing wish the previous day so I let him do a pre-dawn fish instead. I saw that he could now fish for piranha so I had him fish with minnow to start the pirahna wish chain.
Sam had arrived just before I closed my game and when I saw them both in the same room, even though they weren't interacting, I thought it would make a good photo opp
After I took the photo Sam turned around to play the drums
And Fife went outside to fish
The boys had waffles for breakfast. Although they all had waking wishes, I cancelled them all because I had a surprise planned for them
Before I loaded my save I installed Traveler. The whole family were off to Bridgeport for a holiday Lachie would have aged up later that day and Rory on the next day. I love these boys too much as teens so this way I get to play them longer as teens and Niall and Cain get longer as elders
As soon as they arrived, Rory got hearts from someone in town. I won't be pursuing it and, although anything that happens in Bridgeport stays in Bridgeport, the sims are not up to my standard.
When Morna gave birth to her second child, another son, during the night, Niall rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
As soon as the boys arrived, I added the Duke of Bows venue to the town.
Rory had a wish to take a photo with a friend. No idea when he rolled it but I locked it in so I must meant for him to have it
The boys arrived in a group but I disbanded that shortly after arrival since I don't like groups and when Niall and Cain flirted I started getting those silly popups about them leaving the group.

The boys did lots of chatting and had a couple of brief games of catch but I was disappointed that no-one else was showing up as the boys all had wishes to meet the locals.
I like the look of this venue a lot
After they had been at the venue for a few hours, I decided it was time to find some sims. I saw a bunch at the Butterfly Pavilion so I teleported them there. Unfortunately, Beau was leaving as my boys were arriving
Niall and Cain even got to boast about their grandkids
I saw another sim in Lachie's queue. There's no escaping that when a sim is irresistible.
I saw Marina complaining about something and I suspect it was art because she doesn't like art.
Cain and Rory were heading into the Pavilion to play catch but Niall stopped Cain before he got there. Since Rory was already there, I had him catch a butterfly

Cain must have spotted him too and rolled a wish to meet a vampire. Done!
When the boys had their introductions I sent them all to Eugi's.
Cain and Niall rolled wishes to have a drink - granted!
Beau called Cain for a chat!
Lachie continued to attract sims, Rory danced and Niall played a game.
I sent the teens to have a drink as well
When it was getting close to dinnertime, I had Rory try to order pizza at the bar. Every time he tried the mixologist would reset so I sent them to the Bistro for dinner.
The grown ups watched the stars after dinner
The teens played catch in the dark
The house could do with a little more light as well!
While Lachie tutored Rory, Niall and Cain were woohooing upstairs before going to sleep

When I realized that I had forgotten to pack, I placed my community garden in a nearby lot. I sent the boys to harvest enough for their stay. Many hands make light work and the boys were back home by 9.30
Niall's waking wish was to eat a perfect quality meal. I had him prepare some food for the fridge so his next meal would be perfect
Lachie was up to his old tricks
I bought the MA training equipment for Cain earlier in the day and was surprised that he went inside to hug Lachie instead of working out.
Rory's waking wish was to call Beau Merrick
I had Lachie make some Stink Juice Potion to keep in his inventory because I wanted to see if he would do anything with it autonomously because of his evilness
Cain finally found the board breaker because Niall was preparing two meals and the boys were busy.
I sent the boys swimming to work on their athletic skill.
Cain and Niall didn't want to swim - they wanted to skinny dip! LOL

A little later, Rory used the diving board on his side of the pool. His dive wasn't as spectacular but at least he didn't fail
Don't open your eyes, Rory!
I always worry when my sim kids swim too long so I had the boys get out. They decided to relax in the hot tub and I was fine with that
Niall has rolled many a wish to throw a party throughout his life and I have cancelled them all. I decided he should finally get his wish
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

I don't remember inviting Jessica Talon and Lil Bling!
Beau Merrick and Apollo Bloom also came
Lachie and Beau were getting on well. They were probably plotting evil together
I saw this from the corner of my eye and didn't see what Apollo was saying but I know he has bad traits and wasn't sorry when he left immediately after.
I thought Beau looked sad He probably has dim memories of a past life where he and Marina were romantic interests. Of course he is so gay now that she could flirt for the next 20 human years and wouldn't sway him
I laughed when both Marina and Lachie turned to look at Niall when he introduced himself to Beau. There was something about their expressions that tickled my funny bone
I went looking for Cain and found he had started dinner without the family!
It looks like Rory just discovered that Jessica is a daredevil
I didn't have any plasma fruit but didn't worry about Beau because I maxed his motives when he arrived
The boys watched the stars from the back deck I added a lamp in the corner but it is still very dark - much darker than SV.
I think Marina was the only guest who danced.
I was beginning to think that Wogan would never arrive!
"It feels like someone is watching us!"
"I'm scared!"
It wasn't long before Wogan and the boys were friends I didn't take pics but there were lots of floating hearts!
When I saw Rory dancing on his own, I sent Lachie in to keep him company.
The boys ended the night with woohoo. I had to stop them a few times during the party but I let them go once the guests had gone.

I sent the boys to the Buena Vista Resort for a few hours for a bit of fishing and relaxation
I added a couple of whack-a games and had the boys test them out. Although they had fun they didn't go back to them. I could see Niall getting ready to skinny dip through the door!
Lachie got 6,000 points and Rory got 12,000.
Cain joined Niall in the hot tub
Why are you reading a book instead of stealing your dads' clothes? So much for being evil!
It's nearly impossible to see the fish in the waters of Bridgeport. I had to use Niall's Collection Helper to locate the fish by the glow.
Niall didn't wet himself - that is a woohoo puddle
I don't know who instigated it but I found Niall and Cain playing catch.
When the boys had fished the spawner dry, I released them and Rory immediately asked Lachie for a game of catch. I was a little confused when I saw them running.
I have no idea where they planned to go to play catch but I cancelled it!
I sent them back to the lot and when they tried again they stayed put.

Niall didn't react much probably because he knew what his son was up to or his face is frozen as happens from time to time Rory was getting to know Suzy Strummer in the background.
Cain rolled a wish to give Hyacinth Atkins a friendly introduction. I should check if Retuner can make that autonomous although I don't think I want my sims autonomously introducing themselves to NPCs I think I see a game of catch in Niall and Lachie's near future
Matilda Smart approached Lachie for a chat. I think Rory and Suzy were about to play catch but it got cancelled somehow.
Niall also wanted to introduce himself to Hyacinth and he also got to boast about his grandkids
Matilda got pushed aside when Caroline Custard started chatting with Lachie.
