Weekend was a bit of a food and friend fest. And nothing wrong with that. Went for sushi with kangeiko to celebrate her triumphant return from Africa.

Saturday was a little odd and sad, but various promises were made and I intend to keep them. A small but perfectly formed party was had on Friday, those who were not there, we missed you, ( Read more... )
