Knitting , X Box - what's that all about ?

We've got my parents and nephew here for christmas.It was a bit touch and go with the weather being so bad in the Uk,but the gods smiled on us and kept the airports open! It's great to have them here, but difficult to find things to keep them occupied, it's a little quiet here for townies. My mum's a little bored and has already knitted one scarf. She's started on another, doesn't like the wool so the job's now fallen to me to finish it. It's a very long time since I knitted anything, but I think I can manage a scarf!
Jim's decided he wants an X Box (Why?????)  so we're waiting for that to arrive along with several games. I suppose it'll keep his mind active. Thomas (nephew) is 'well pleased' and we're having to track it's every movement online.
The horses are taking a back seat, but they seem to be enjoying themselves out 24/7
