Hi'yall,Just a quick update from "sunny" old England. What's been happening, nothing too unusual. The brass band I joined keeps my blowing my own horn, work is continuing to have its ups and downs, and I've managed to do a bit of touristy stuff recently too.
But here is just a few pics from 3 consecutive nights of farewell parties that Pierre had when leaving the UK. The first ended up being a goulash at my house (to help use up some smoked paprika he bought off a French market vendor in Edinburough), and to help finish his various bottles of single malt whiskies and other spirits. We did not succeed, but we gave it a good try!
Johnny on Guitar, playing something soothing and Pierre couldn't resist the call of the slumber...
Housemate Jorge (pronounced Hor-hey), Hirad, hand Phavel, hAmy and hAnna.
The pitiful effort - only 2 bottles to go into the recycling bin and one of them really doesn't count!
The remainder!
The remainder!
