Sam and Jade arrive
The big house clean this morning, much hoovering and arranging and cleaning of things, prior to Sam and Jade coming to stay.
An old agency pal, Phil dropped in and we had coffee in the back garden. Good to chat, he is a very interesting guy, and has a really funny way with a story. He gave me a horrendous account of a friend of his accidentally killing a neighbour's cat that had broken into his kitchen at 4 am. An appalling story of a woodland burial and the guilty friend seeing posters of the missing cat for weeks on end. It reminded me of Crime and Punishment.
The afternoon willingly taken up with kitchen porter duties, as Lorraine was on an enormous cooking mission, making a variety of curries. I sent a few emails arranging an interview with Pascale Petit next week.
Sam and Jade, driven by Beth from the station, arrived early evening. A cheery evening, having a few drinks, eating Lorraine's delicious curries, and playing Trivial Pursuit afterwards which Lorraine won. Beth taxied home, and the rest of us went to bed quickly afterwards, at about midnight.
Again, I did not take any photos. However here is a lovely snap of Beth and Brian, that Lorraine took in the back garden.
