Sunday 29 September 2024 - Dinner



Here 'we' are, enjoying Sue's excellent sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble desserts, after a roast chicken and accompaniments main. The 'we' in question are not entirely those expected a couple of hours earlier. Michael, Sarah and Isabella had called to say that Mike and Sarah had sickness and diarrhoea, so they couldn't make it. Kate stepped in to fill the breach, and Jessica and Jacob's friends Elsie and Seb were rnrolled at short notice and brought along. Jacob isn't featured in the picture. By then he had been sick all over our hall carpet and was banished with a bucket to the car outside. So we were soon left with Nell and Keith, the latter having managed to lean backwards as I took the picture. At least he wasn't sick, and the remaining four of us had a pleasant afternoon before Nell and Keith shot off to try to avoid football traffic.

Thanks go to Kate and Sue for helping to clean up Jacob's mess while their meals went cold, and to Tomasz, the professional carpet cleaner who later attended to the stricken carpet and pronounced it to be in good health after a thorough professional clean.

The home made sticky toffee pudding was particularly tasty, and thankfully none of it was regurgitated!

We must do this (with obvious adjustments) more often...
