Saverias solstice

 Sav choose to hold her soiree on the solstice under a full moon with a massive corona which of course is barely visible in my photo - beautiful to see though naturally somewhat chilly...

Sav was on terrific form. I have no photos to indicate this and this may be due to the mulled wine she lovingly produced, which seemed to be hot gin coloured by brandy with loads of fruit. Worked for me.

Lots of friends there and interesting multi-cultural chatting. One lady was an Occitan speaker who confirmed Sebastian's word for 'putain'; 'maqkuaroau' (phonetically spelt -)

Here's the now traditional random selection of snaps, no selection procedure beyond what comes out usable.

The astute observer will see Kells' new haircut - she is shorn for charity, a process by which her hair goes to make wigs, the proceeds of which go to charity. Or possibly the hair goes to make wigs for chemo survivors, I forget which - jolly Good Thing anyway and her new cut is really pretty.


Here's Mary, from Colorado where she does ecology-type thangs, nattering with Eva from Transylvania -

 ... and Mandy and Louise no doubt swapping travelers tales :)



Bob and I crawled off early before the carols and mince pies, claiming age and infirmity as our companions.
