A visit from an old friend we haven't seen for seven years, (at the funeral of his long time partner), galvanised us out of our lethargy as far as giving dinner parties. Fish pie as the main course allowed for not too onerous service by the hosts and this was nicely complemented by Pinot Grigio. Several bottles, it would seem from this morning's clear up. It's good to catch up.
Sadly the candles misbehaved and one of the candleshades fell and sliced the top off the antique ladle in the centrepiece tureen. But it's a clean break and Superglue will come to the rescue. Hardier candles are hard to find in this neck of the woods.
Funnily enough I had a premonition that this might happen, but in my imagination the damage was to one of the glasses, and replacing this Waterford pattern is not an easy task, so I am relieved, even if my sensory perception is failing.
