Saturday Again, So Off To Friendship,

today Diana decided to do a bowl of chili-con-carne, as usual we only have a vague idea of who is going to call in, so a big bowl of chili was made just in case a lot of friends arrived! Geoff, Fay and baby Samuel called in, they had just returned from a few months in the Philippines,

Big Jim, Mark and Anchisa also called in,

Mr. Tony also arrived,

the last guests to arrive were Mike and Riza,

Diana and Anchisa getting some of the food ready,

then it was eyes down and tuck in! Mr. Tony brought a Thai dish, Mark some garlic bread and a rice pudding, in fact everyone helped out on the catering front, it was delicious,

downstairs Samuel was the center of attention,

and time for the girls to put their feet up and have a bite to eat,

then it was time to put the world to rights, from how much longer the recession in the UK would last to the world rising price of copper, having solved those minor problems we got on to the serious stuff, such as,

'if we have nightmares do vampires have daymares?' - Stanley F. Kemp 1950 -

'Is it progress if a cannibal uses a knife and fork?' - Baron Stanisław Jerzy de Tusch-Letz (AKA Stanislaw Lec) 1909 - 1966,

then after our friends had left it was off to bed.
