Memorable days

Here is Marcus and his fiancée Amilie being inspected by a curious Rico. No blood was shed. They are visiting for a couple of days and arrived just before John and Jean got in from Barcelona - so there were three Harris men at dinner and pretty raucous it was.

These two coped well with being thrown into the bosom of a strange family. It was a memorable and very very good fun evening, made more so by excellent food - NONE of which I cooked. Darling Charlie did the most delicious onion soup ( the toast was my contribution) Phil and Ziggy did the classic boeuf bourguignon and vedg and Msr Intermarche did the pudding, apricot custard flan. Outsourcing is the new cuisine.

Sunday; this alluring gent is of course Kieran who is leading the way with face fungus. You may not know that November is the month when attention is drawn to specifically male illnesses - a time to raise awareness and money and remember those affected by the various male-only cancers.

Some blokes have their 'taches shaved off, others grow them. Some girls stick 'em on. Same message: get checked, talk about things, contribute to research.
