acuppl'abuddies

Second day of being a grass-widow (why is it called that?). Enjoyed work, both jobs...Rachel and I commended ourselves on our awesomeness at getting the gallery more organized - we rummaged around the building rubble in the partly-renovated offices next door and found some junk which we recycled into genuine vintage treasures :) Picked up the boys, got home and Nick skyped as soon as we came on-line. Great to chat with him and see how he's faring - he had had his first meeting this morning already and didn't need to make use of an interpreter. He spoke slowly and the three families present listened carefully. I think it was well received. Didn't chat too long, and then I had to get the fire going and wanted to bake something before getting started with tea. A batch of biscotti later and with a pot of tomato soup simmering on the stove, the boys and I got things ready for Liz and Graham to join us for tea: Aaron diligently wafted bacon bits around the pan and Caleb serenaded us on the organ. Great to have the Gregory's company to break an otherwise long evening - the boys really enjoy them too so they're a success all round!
