All the same, between the bunch of us, we managed to pull off a lovely soiree. A surprise visit from an old friend, which brought with it a misty-eyed moment. A baked dessert by Ilajna (note she still hasn't baked the chocolate cake she promisd Doobie and me two years ago). Delicious food and wine in plentiful - what more could one want.
A lovely evening, warm and touching, and full of laughter. Just perfect.
