A holiday Saturday
Lorraine and I walked round the corner to get the fixings for a large breakfast with Beth and John. Feeling cheery and holidayish, as long as you don't listen to the news. After a hefty but tasty breakfast, Beth spent some time with Lorraine looking at holiday gear. Then we dropped them round the corner at Hove Station, where John will be living in a few weeks.
Then to see Janet and Ken, and Hus and his daughter Reem, who is on a holiday in the UK but working in a cafe. Janet looking well. We drank tea flavoured with rose petals and had wide ranging discussions. Ken had had a heart monitor put into his chest this week, but seems to have taken this fairly philosophically.
In the evening Dawn and Matt came around for supper. Lorraine copied Jane's chicken and chickpea stew cooked in wine and herbs from last week, and then peaches, strawberries and ice-cream. Delicious. Matt has an infected finger, and is on heavy strength antibiotics. Played Chiara's music to Matt who liked it, he also had an expert look at the score. Great to catch up with him as we have not seen much of each other lately.
Dawn talking about her new house and the work she is having Hus do on it. We drank wine, talked about various wide ranging subjects. Calliope meanwhile having a drama in the back with our new next door neighbour's dog which growled and barked at her.
Dawn and Matt left early enough for us to watch Family Guy (my favourite TV programme of the moment) before slinking off to bed.
