Loveliness

We've had chums around. Summer may be barbecue time, but there's something very nice about a sit down meal as the nights draw in and port by the fire becomes an option. We've been graced by the presences of [livejournal.com profile] ephraim, [livejournal.com profile] november_girl, [livejournal.com profile] caddyman, <[livejournal.com profile] ellefurtle, [livejournal.com profile] bytepilot and the pre-maternally luminescent
[livejournal.com profile] thalinoviel. I have learned two things from these experiences. One is the always welcome reminder of how excellent our chums are, and the other is that I have become a total lightweight when it comes to food and booze; combine them with a warm hearth, and I curl up on the floor like Beth Gelert at the hunters feet. Our guests have been too kind to comment on my doggy doziness. Some of them, having quelled a vicious attack from our hatstand then had to struggle through fondue with strange bread. Perhaps this is lesson number 3; Ordinary crusty bread will not do for fondue fun; it just disintegrates under the cheesy goodness. Long french loaves are the solution, and one we'll not deviate from again.

Wonderful nights. Thanks to all for coming, and hopes to all and sundry for more of the same.

Ahh Sweet girl of my dreams, what delight it is to see you curled up in the firelight. Toasting your elegant form after an evening's indulgence in the finer things in life. Wine, Women and, erm, well, more wine as it turns out.

I think between us all we mut have eaten our own weight in cheesy bread.
Time for me to do TellyTubby impersonations and shout "again again"

Oooh, let's! Now we have curtains and soon a rug will follow - we can all curl up in front of the fire!
