Yesterday was Idyllic……

Got up early, made chocolate and cherry trifle from scratch. (Am so proud) Then we all wandered down to the park and played volleyball and football as well as honing our hula-hoop skills. The sun was warm and it was great to be with friends enjoying it all.

Later on Michael came round for a boozy lunch. It was good to see him. He’s doing well in his job and has a new body shape from going to the gym. (“The Temple of the Flesh” apparently.) This is what we had for lunch, in the style of many post-modern gastro pub menus –

Oven- Roasted Red & Yellow Peppers with Sun-Dried Tomatoes in a Pesto and Olive Oil served with Warm Roundels of Bread and Farm Fresh Butter.

Chargrilled Lidls’ Tuna Steak with a White Wine, Caper and Shallot Vinaigrette served with a bed of Fluffy Aromatic Cous-Cous and Fresh Buttered Green Beans

Dark Chocolate, Morello Cherry and Mascarpone Trifle Served with Whipped Excretion of Cow.

Corner Shop 2005 White Wine served with Carbonated Sugar Water.

It was delicious. Mmmm.
After that we walked along the canal, and stopped off at the Palm Tree for a pint. We lay back on the grass and watched the planes fly over us through orange tinted sunglasses. This summer’s going to be great.
