We are not so busy tonite, and I have come back over to the house, having done the initial meet and greet. For reasons I don't fully understand I decided to wear shoes with heels tonite, not my usual flat ones, and while they looked good, their practicalities, especially out the back on the walk to the wine chiller, was seriously dubious.  But sometimes you just do put form ahead of function, just becos the urge takes you!

However, I couldn't have done it on a busier nite, where I needed to pull my weight more...

I got away with it tonite, but have come back over to the house remembering why I have a pair of shoes that I have worn practically ever day for the last couple of years becos they are so eminently comfortable and practical, both of which are important characteristics when you're on your feet as much as I am on a busy nite.

The house feels preternaturally quiet - we're had both daughters home for awhile,  and with their departure, things feel very peaceful,  which is not all bad! So have come home to my computor, to update my reading, without the noise of the TV in the background - although I suspect Rick won't be far away and will be turning on the Tour...

Amazing to think that in a couple of years we might be there somewhere at some stage, watching those guys flash past, but a little more water has to flow under the bridge before that becomes definite.

All of which is a preample for what I wanted to link too, being a blog written by John Thorne, who just happens to be my all time favourite food writer - I have most of the books he's published and I adore his languid and unhyped style.

This link is to a blog that he writes occasionally  - which I check in on periodically to see what he's written. I hope you enjoy his gentle and total esoteric manner. This is food writing as it should be!
