Thanksgiving

Through the miracle that is divorced parenting, Craig and I ended up alone on Thanksgiving. I made a roast beef dinner because I think turkey is horribly overrated and I don't live in England so can't just go round making this meal every week. After we ate, we went to see 'Dan in Real Life' which was charming. We brought our red wine to go bottle and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The next evening friends converged and Catherine and Sam were back. Catherine and I had picked up a massively on sale version of the game 'Scene It' the TV edition. We forced the guests to play, but this was fair as a couple of them forced their nowhere near ready plum wine on the rest of us. It was bit of disappointment for C and S as the shows featured were all relics from before they were born. Some who protested loudly that they never watch tv and wouldn't be able to play were outed as 'Welcome Back Kotter' watchers in their distant past...
We went to bed late with the kitchen an utter mess. Craig and I slept in and got up to find a clean kitchen and a freshly baked batch of muffins. Thank you Catherine! Sam mumbled 'suck-up' in disgust, but ate a few of the muffins.

This is a wonderful daughter you have. Maybe she could take a Sabbatical in Oxford.
