this morning was spent tidying the house in preparation for an english christmas meal
the weather turned gorgeous so esther and i went shopping for an office chair (after we’d done our share of chores)
our friends arrived just after 3.30 and left just before 10
they bought their dog morris (maurice?), seen on the left here. he was an escape artist and pearl looked shocked (and hopefully hasn’t learnt some new tricks)
dinner was great although slightly disrupted by one of our visitors having to rush off the emergency doctor to see about an inflamed eye (turned out just to be an allergic reaction and was almost back to normal by the time they went)
pearl and maurice wore each other out
and jane cooked us a tremendous dinner
