Consoling chocolates

Posted on 8:14 AM by Unknown
Philip and Seppi bought us some home made jam and a box of chocolates. I meant us to have the chocolates with our coffee after our Thai meal, but I forgot about them.

However, it worked out well as a friend who is going through some severe emotional turmoil came round on Saturday night, and so we got out the wine and opened up the chocolates - for medicinal purposes.

The British team has just been disqualified from the 4 by 100 relay.  We thought they had the bronze, but they had got one of their baton changes wrong.  Captain Butterfly worried that they would before they even started and sadly he was right.

I chauffered myself to the Kingdom Hall this morning, while the Captain detected metal with the club.   It was raining a bit, but is sunny now.  The Channel is sparkling away outside the window.
