Pot luck

One of the things about pot luck is that we never know who will turn up: tonight, many of our friends were sick, or had other obligations, so we had a much smaller group than usual: 10-15 people, including kids.
Normally, including kids would mean double counting them -- they can be so loud and boisterous that 5 kids feels like 10 people.  But today it was still nice outside, and they all ran around and played and played and played, making the potluck crowd seem even smaller!

Still, it meant that our friends could sit and chat longer, and even though LOML had to run off to give a program on herbs, I got to sit with friends and just hang out for a couple of hours.

Yours, having enjoyed a lovely relaxed evening,
