Here's something to keep you amused. Next time you are listening to a song on the radio consider how you would explain the lyrics to a group of intermediate Japanese students. I was pondering this the other day as I idly let 10cc's Wall Street Shuffle wash over me in the supermarket. I probably just need a holiday.
Jim cooked a selection of curries yesterday and invited 10 other people to join us. I pointed out that we have a house the size of a shoebox and don't own a dozen plates but he still insisted it was a good idea. And indeed it was. Folk without plates ate out of bowls. We drank coffee in relays. I'd forgotten that we only own four mugs. However, the sun shone on us (albeit weakly) and the curries were tasty so a good time was had by all. This type of entertaining was highly appropriate in our youth but I am sure that when you are pushing 50 there is a rule book somewhere that says you are supposed to have good cutlery and matching china. Maybe one day that'll make it to the top of my wish list but don't hold your breath.
