Whatcha got cookin'?

Recipe for a Jolly Fine Weekend:
Good food, good beer, good wine, good company, good conversation. Marvellous.

Mallers and Maddy came up to stay, bearing a fantastically thoughtful and gorgeous gift, for a weekend of detox on the cardboard-and-water diet and to set the world to rights. In brief, ‘king Omally chased a sheep and later annexed an unsuspecting state to add to his realm; Croc shoes are both hideous and uncomfortable; Kouros decided not to dangle by his midriff from a crane; medium tee-shirts can double up as casual frocks; organic gardens ("I remember when all this was fields") are best seen when a) plants are growing and b) there isn’t horizontal hail; and board games are now off the agenda. If anyone mentions “just one point” there’ll be trouble.

Back to work tomorrow. Ho hum.
