It is time

for Hiroko to come home from St. Louis. The silverware drainer does not get emptied unless she is here and it was really difficult to make those last two tea spoons fit in just now. Esp. with the scalded stumps of fingers that I have left due to the excellent heating capacity of our boiler. And someone needs to become aware that knives pointing upwards are dangerous. But as for me getting involved with that... maybe another glass of milk and a good book will make me forget :)

How is the weekend over? How have I not updated on marvelous trip to Denmark (or other trips either)? Where is all the time going?

About all can manage now (since am 'writing' busily for meeting with supervisor tomorrow -- no laughing), though, is supplying weekend update...

Thursday -- located calendar (hoorah!). Returned spoiled milk. Rode bike in sun to do errands. Read. Watched first half of Sweden v. Paraguay game at Mackintosh. Joined Katharine and John and friend for quiz. Was entertained by this mad Irish/Welsh person (John's friend) named Eamann (or something like) and contributed little to the quiz, except that LXXX = 80. Ended by annoying mad I/W person with personal stubborness so that he stormed off in fit of pique.

Friday -- More reading. Evening dinner at home of President Jack Ayles of Llandaff Rotary. Lovely time! President-elect Peter Clarke was my kind chauffeur. So we stopped to collect his wife, Mo, on the way... where I was baptised by Bagel. Bagel is the precious tiny dachsund with whom I went on the Llandaff Charity Walk in the Autumn (photos are back there). Being widdled on on one's way to a dinner party is not nearly as traumatic as burning one's hair off, but that should be a story for another time... (and probably my mama will be happy to do the telling).

Saturday -- 'read' and cleaned during day. And bought milk. Joined mad Italian group for viewing of Italy v. USA game. Was prevented from enduring overwhelming mockery as American since one of the Italian players was kind enough to kick a wrong goal, leading to a non-win for Italy :)

Sunday -- Corpus Christi. Cooking. Wishing Daddy happy day! Reading. Future should include typing, I suppose...
