Two birthdays
Argh. Have had to start work on blinking arthritis stuff again within a day of touching down, all very complicated stuff that pushes the jetlagged brain to the limit. No time to properly update blog. (Still lots of photos and American and Canadian adventures to be added.) No time to do the 101 things that need to be done.
Both Bob and Anton's birthday today. I spoke to Bob and shall be seeing the old Mad dog on Friday with Carl for our first drink together for a gazillion years. Anton, meanwhile, called around for me at five and we met up with Anna and the bairns and had food at Wagamamas. Klaudia and Oskar with odd haircuts, as Klaudia has been going through an unauthorised hair cutting craze. My godchildren on lively form and scooting about on their scooters, dropping things into my glass of beer and so on. Had a cheeky beer with Anton as we walked home, and then returned to Anton's house for coffee and to listen to the new hand made Japanese pickup on his stereo, which arrived in an immaculate small wooden box without instructions.
Lorraine arrived, she and Anna in deep conversation about houses. Then down the hill to watch a little TV before sliding happily into bed.
