Chicken and chick pea curry sounds tasty and nourishing Pharma.
Glad to know you are much improved Diana, and hope you are less sore today Roobarb.
Great news the tutor signed off the portrait, but heck, if your friend loved it, that would be good enough for me.
My birthday was lovely, thanks so much for all the good wishes.
H had theatre tickets for Thursday evening, to watch the local Am Drams in an Agatha Christie mystery. The female lead was especially strong, and I enjoyed it. We used to go fairly often, and I have missed it more than I realised.
I had been a bit worried about seating and proximity, but happily there were 2 clear rows behind us, although I would have been less comfortable if I had been the couple in the row diagonally in front of us. We were asked to wear masks throughout, and I found that more hot and uncomfortable than I expected, given I was sitting still. (I do wear one for most of the time doing NT duty.)
No wonder the front line workers suffer sores and rashes... it must be awful having to wear one continually. It was a lovely balmy evening, no rain forecast, so we strolled down in the sunshine, and it was still warm walking home, but light rain, which held off till we were almost back, so we didn't get drenched. The full moon rising was a beautiful sight.
Yesterday was dry enough for Morris practise. We had eight dancers and 4 musicians, which was a good size group, and then mayhem afterwards, with banners, balloons, sparklers and cakes, more cakes, fizz and cakes,
cards, gifts. They must have sung happy birthday at least 4 times! What a lovely party. I feel very blessed to know such a caring group of people.
I did speak to both my boys, and had greetings from nearly everyone I know, so it was a very special day, and I am in hopes of more celebrations over the weekend. Spoilt or Wot!!!
