misterdanielSo, the weekend after the one coming is the Lions Event, and I have (perhaps foolishly) agreed to have Duncan McAllister stop for the two nights (Kaz also being at the event).
Now I'm sure it would be no fun for Duncan to see himself as being dumped on a boring guy whilst his parents are off having an adventure. So I have deemed that his stay will be as interesting as I can make it. Duncan is into spy-things at the moment, so I'm coming up with a spy plan.
Nick Fury, of SHIELD, will be contacting Duncan to ask for his assistance. SHIELD suspects that HYDRA are operating in Nottingham and Leicester. Since Duncan has moved from Scotland, he is completely clear of suspicion of being a HYDRA agent making him perfect for this mission, if he agrees.
Friday night will focus on training, including code-breaking.
Saturday will involve a trip to the National Space Centre in Leicestershire to check its not a HYDRA front.
Sunday will involve some more investigation based on data received from Saturday.
I'm blogging openly about this because I am wondering if anyone would be willing and able to help me with this, either in preparation or in the course of the weekend. I'm thinking:
1 - Suggestions for spy-based activities
2 - Helping to prepare some bits (e.g. simple transliterated code to be cracked)
3 - Playing NPC roles at the end of telephones, texts or even Skype
If not, never mind. I think I can come up with enough stuff. Spymasters often give wildly confusing instructions, so being asked to gather random - yet scientifically accurate - information from the National Space Centre makes a game of learning stuff.
Frankly, when Dessie and Bria get back from the Lions to discover that Duncan has saved the free world from terrorism, I think they will feel like the ones who missed out.
(And, of course, this is a proto run for doing similar with Eleanor when she is a little older)

Date: 2012-10-04 07:01 pm (UTC)1 - Go to Denz in the morning and let kids run around
2 - Have lunch
3 - Quiet afternoon with TV/Games/Ben napping until LTers get back
If you are around and willing, then other options open up. Such as switching Denz for a park trip. Or possibly visiting for lunch?
In terms of plot, if we visited your house, it could be because yours is the only house with a system capable of hacking Hydra's network. (Russ Phillips has offered to set up a password activated website which Duncan can have obtained the password for earlier in the weekend; he's even offered to set up a fake chat transcript between two enemy agents that can be observed on screen)
Or if we are out in the park then... uhm... maybe we can set up a buried treasure (probably some kind of transmitter/transponder/macguffin) that can be found.
