dicing with death

First time for two years, I cooked a meal for 8 people... fig and goats cheese tarts, onion and chicory tartin, pureed jerusalem artickokes, mousse au chocolate, jolly nourishing.

Above are Ray, Louise and Norbert; here is Tim (pictures of Yvonne deleted) and below with Tim  is Shiela, carefully concealing herself behind candles.

It was a very enjoyable night - conversations still causing me to reflect. Hoping we can do it all again soon :)

Poor Bob leaves for the UK again today. Away for a week, alone on Plague Island. Covid is in our town though (friend close to Fa down with it -) (his wife was out and about yesterday,) (both unvaccinated.) It's all in the lap of the gods and the prevailing winds.
