cold and colds

 Lovely evening chez moi last night - John and Kat did all the cooking and I just enjoyed our friends; Mike and Hilary, Gert and Elizabet, Andrea and Catherine, John and Margaret, Leo and of course Kat and John.

Kat made a fruit coulis which we poured with cream over brebis (sheep) ice cream in three flavours - liquorish, violet and fig-and-walnut - topped with crushed something. John did the pasta and meat sauce and I did the roasted vedg and salad for the veggies, of whom it transpired there were none.

Notably absent were Max  and Scott, laid low with colds.

Saw Max the previous night when he got in with Andrea and Catherine and we dinned in (comparative) luxury at the TyRex.

There were tremendous blastings of laughter all night - guests on top form, thanks to you all for your company xxx

John leaves for England today having assembled my new electric tricycle. It was not easy. Impossible to do had he not been volunteered... more on that beast anon as I learn to control it.

Toby arrives today.

Its enough to make you dizzy.
