A date!

We have an excuse. We went on a date --- and it was lovely: LOML had asked friends of ours to watch the children so that we could go to the big city, visit their tempting grocery-and-other-stores, and eat out other than at our fancy sushi place.
We had a lovely time: the restaurant, a lovely Indian place, was quite good (in the English sense of the phrase, which is high praise, not the US version, which is damning with faint praise) and we left full and happy.
Afterwards, we even managed to find a lovely patio table, something we've been looking for for months. Serendipity is wonderful!

And better still --- or as good --- the children behaved themselves, and may be invited back:-)


And that is why we didn't celebrate Bastille Day today.
Yours, in explanation and celebration,
N.
