Unusual Suspects

Dinner last night* was a fun event with Pete (Clare in a 'plane so absent, alas) Katerinne, Gert and Elizabet - which latter two are leaving us today until the Spring of next year.

Sniff.

-And another thing - our award winning bakers are on holiday, see below. Ghastly news. The 8a8 suggest pre-ordering bread - baked on the premises, naturally- and this seems a fine plan as they will no doubt be taking up the slack.

We soldier on.

* Since you ask: Coquilles sans Jaques, just made with seafood; prawn curry; pain perdu of croissants, raspberries, cream. Par mal.
