And the evening is over

And I am sitting here, alone. Some guests have gone, and others have gone to camp in a tent on the back porch, with LOML and Boo and Skibo. I'm happy not to camp out, so I get to sleep in a bed tonight. At last check, the sprogs were all bouncing off tent walls, so I suspect the non-sprogs out there are in for a long night:-) Don't say I didn't warn them. Well, actually, I didn't, except by setting a good example.... but that should be enough!


Yours, feather-bedded,
N.

You most certainly have set the best example. This is likely an evening that will live on in everyone's memory for a very long time.

Michele concurs with me. That's why she sent me to read yet another of your delightful entries.

Carmi: thanks! And now I am happily sitting blogging, with Rosemary and Thyme, the silliest British mystery series available, in the background. Ah, comfort.

That sounds lovely. Especially since the sprogs are out there and you are in there. I was guessing that you are in the UK, until I saw you also had a Margaret Fulton cookbook. Is that one a stray from downunder? Michele sent me over to ask that :)

I used to be in the UK, for many years: then moved to N America umptythreve years ago -- and was given a copy of Maggs Fulton's books (encyclopedia as well as the other one) by one of my best friends, who was by chance Australian. Well, it wasn't chance that she was Australian, but... well, never mind.
Anyway, Maggs' books are among my favourite cookbooks still...

Michele sent me over to say hi.

Yes, being inside when the kiddies are outside is definitely the way to play things, N. It's amazing that the other adults didn't realize this! LOL Maybe they'll see things your way by the time dawn comes around.

Utenzi --- the thing is the sprogs are young enough that they need adults with them if they are outside... that said, *I* was not the one that suggested camping, so *I* get to be immune from actually doing it:-)
