lathany | Dinner Take Two (this time without the bike crash)

Last night

angry_marmot came round and had dinner with us.

Before dinner,

angry_marmot and I discussed books, publishing, short and long stories and Travel Plans for Next Year's Expedition whilst

bateleur made curry (I had finished the apple and apricot crumble before they arrived) and

chrestomancy saved Sky from various computing disasters. This was whilst Bea and Ryan handed

angry_marmot books, beakers and the snail.

After dinner,

chrestomancy and I discussed the approaching weddings (

chrestomancy is lined up for his second "Best Man" role) and locating people through Google whilst

bateleur and

angry_marmot discussed Monkey Island ^TM and looked at Egyptian holiday photos.

chrestomancy expressed regrets at missing Bea and Ryan and offered to babysit again (foolish gibbon that he is).

Also, all four of us wondered if Sasha had actually sproged yet. Jez had announced that she had during

triskellian and

smiorgan's engagement party but, given we've heard nothing from the contact detail collectors themselves, we're starting to think he was making it up.

All in all, it was a great evening. There were no motorbike accidents, no other disasters (with the possible exception that Tesco's Finest custard turns out to taste like vanilla icecream) and no crying from upstairs.

Today I'm preparing for the week of twinlessness. Packing clothes, bottles, nappy changing stuff and buying in extra supplies of food jars and nappies has pretty much taken out my day.

But, the end result will be ~~great~~ glorious.
