Comings and goings

During the course of this morning the rest of the family left one by one. By early evening I was beginning to get used to the unfamiliar sensation of being alone at home (apart from a dog, four cats, seven chickens and three ducks), when son number two announced that he was on the way back from work with girlfriend Erin who I had not yet met. A pleasant surprise, calling for a quick lamb risotto.... Then we watched Withnail & I in memory of Richard Griffiths.
