Penguin?

This is Dave doing a penguin impression, which we failed to guess as part of the after dinner game we were playing. Afterwards we could see what he was attempting: a penguin sliding downhill on some ice. But he did look more like a snake. We advised him that a cutesy penguin waddle would have been better.

Fun Friday night with Dave, Kate and Robin, making some comically shaped fresh pasta ravioli (tip: don't overstuff), acting the goat and drinking cider (which has become an entrenched habit).

Had plenty of good discussions at work, with plans falling into place for next week's trip, which departs on Wednesday.

I managed to slip out at lunchtime for a meeting with a new potential volunteer for the refugee charity for which I'm a trustee. I bought jacket potatoes at the cafeteria on the top floor of the library and chewed the fat with Vicky for an hour. We'll get her on board in the coming weeks.
