plum - yum!!

christmas dinner mark II was far more successful. no hijacking ex-bfs, just some prawns, salad, bread and plum ice cream (which was totally divine). i think the ice cream maker will stay out of the cupboard for a while. there was also a brief appearance by a bottle of strawberry champagne but it disappeared very fast. it was given to me on my 39th birthday and i just had not got around to drinking it before - it was very, very nice.

sunday update: i forgot to tell you that it was 38°C here today - 12° above average... to escape the heat, i used my filmink freebie and went to see 'a very long engagement' - despite some very graphic war scenes, it is a lovely film - audrey tautou is just gorgeous.

i also forgot to mutter...
