3 Hour Lunch

I had a busy day.

I still had plenty preparation to do this morning before my guests arrived for lunch. 

Then lunch itself took up 3 hours. It was not a boozy affair - Derek had a gin and tonic but that was it. He insisted it had to be a sensible measure of gin, and it took me a while to work out how to do that. I got there in the end, but would hate to have to repeat the experience. 

After they left I had the less interesting task of cleaning up, but it was worth it. We had a lot of laughs. Old Chic Murray clips on YouTube got us started. 

I did not get outside much today - Derek had a skirmish with melanoma a few years ago and had forgotten to bring sunscreen. Mine has gone past its sell-by date. 

I got my blip while trying to figure out if I had forgotten anything just before they arrived.
