Recovering well now. Went up the road last night for Anton's official birthday celebrations. Brian, Christian and Jane were also guests, and we had a really good time. Anna cooked an exceptionally nice Caribbean meal with two chickens -- one with jerk seasoning and the other with tamarind seasoning, plus there was rice and peas, plantain, cornbread and so on. Yummy. And a matter of pride for Anna having lived in Barbados when a child.
Then a vast chocolate and fruit cake.
Sunday morning and Brian, Anna and Anton were banging on my door. Cup of tea and then out to the park, picking up Christian and Jane en route, for breakfast. After eating Anna persuaded me not to go back to bed but to go to the Brighton & Hove food and drink festival, "a Taste of Sussex" event. There I bought some nice fishcakes, a jar of lemon marmalade, and Japanese tea.
Home and set about some chores have piled up since I was ill. Poked about in my tiny front garden for a while.
Spoke to MJ, and this afternoon she is going to read three poems at a 9/11 event, and leave some flowers in memory of her friend Joyce who died that day.
