too cute to hold a candle to

Theo was here to dinner last night with his Mum Margo, friends Anne and Monique,Ryan and Alecia... sorry guys but no-one else worth photographing, lets face it:)
I missed Richard and Vanessa's Halloween party the night before due to a ringing head cold which has still not quite left me. By all account the party was a gas; anyone want to share photies?
Today the captain is here, exhausted from a pre-dawn flight.Only here for the weekend alas. We will be joined later by London friends, then all decamp to England for a week or so.
Delighted to report that though the American weather stories are a nightmare our old friends Larry and Barbara (see www.tilling-sur-aude.blogspot.com s passim) are safe. Some of their family have experienced difficulties but fundamentally OK.
