Happy New Year




Out to dinner at Bryan and Gill's last night. It was a murder mystery dinner with each of us going in character. My character was Ernest Sharp, a seedy businessman, and Jan, a good time girl. If I wasn't so thick skinned I could have got upset at the casting! The costumes, all home made, were excellent. The best was Gill who made a very authentic looking nun's outfit. I didn't need a costume per se and all Jan did was use a mascara pen to paint on a thin moustache. The slightly scary results above. The meal was excellent, as was the wine and we even got a second crack at the New Year (English time) when we got home. We slept late this morning!

Tennis this afternoon and, like last time, they came at us powerfully to try to pin us back. They succeeded this time and took the first set 6-2. Their job done, they dropped their shoulders and naturally we lifted ours. We took the second set 6-4 and won the deciding tie-break. Phew, it's getting harder.
