bugshaw at 08:18pm on 04/09/2005MC phoned to say that after the Hendon Air Museum trip they went to a pub so he'd be back late. A pub! How could I not have foreseen this? There I was, sat at home, thinking they'd just be talking about planes... I could have been at that pub!
BBQ was good: we are of course left with a sausage mountain (more of an Aztec pyramid if you stack them properly) but only one bottle of wine. More people were drinking beer than bringing beer (naughty people!), and 6 litres of Diet Coke disappeared in what felt like seconds. Lots of people, lots of talking, only a tiny bit of hamster and a brief interlude when I decided I really must write my TAFF platform (and did).
We have new neighbours at 105, but as there's a 6-foot fence between our gardens our interaction has been somewhat limited. B sits in garden, reading River of Gods, hearing new young international female students introduce each other. Ball sails over fence and startles B. B takes ball to fence and gently drops it over the side so as not to land on anyone. Neighbour is sitting against fence, and is startled when ball drops on her. Oops! Mutual apologies are shouted over fence. Later, neighbour waters garden beds with hose - water sprays through gap at bottom of fence onto B who has nodded off and is quite startled.
