And as for dinner earlier tonight... I really did have a wonderful time. I was basically the "fourth wheel" at the table, but soon after sitting down, it was like we had all been friends for years. I'm still amazed, for lack of a better word, at how well we all got along. The evening flew by - when we went to check the time after we had had our desserts - and the complimentary
digestif - we were all surprised to find that it was already past 11:00 - and we had been there since 7:30.
In short, tonight was just what I needed after an uncharacteristically stressful week for me. Good food, good drink, good company. And, most importantly, some good friends. Good new friends. -And not a single Chimney Sweep or Nanny in sight.
