Dinner party at Dr Russell's. 20 present. Sat on right of Mrs R and next to Dr Richards. As usual with medical parties it was slow so slept at 10.

For some reason, I read that as 'sat right on top of Mrs R'. I was all intrigued for a moment!

I think my brain needs resetting....

Hee - yes, that might have livened the party up a little!

slept at 10

I hope he went home first.

You've got to wonder!

"As usual with medical parties"...?

So he did know other kinds of parties, which is a relief, lol. Into every life a little amusement must fall.

Yup - though it's not the first time he's complained about a 'slow' dinner party. I think he may be the same about them as he is with sermons - rather hard to please! ;-)
