there’s a little pod of us Aquari w/birthdays all in a row: My brother Dave (20th), Susan (23rd), 2nd cousin Kamila and me (24th). Dave was in town on his birthday, sorting out a Brammo customer’s cycle, so we got together for dinner @ the apartment my mum and dad are staying at for a few months (oh yes… they’re around the corner for a few months. Babysitters FTW!!). Happy Birthday Dave!
Susan’s was yesterday. She made a lovely eggplant/aubergine parmigiana and freshly-baked foccacia, and Malcolm got into the act with a white cake with chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds on top (which was actually better than it sounds :)). We chilled, listened to some music and had a nice, quiet night. Happy Burthday Susan!
Today my parents came over for brunch (omelets with chevre and leeks, obligatory champagne juliuses) which was really nice, then it is off to Serious Pie for the eponymous dish tonight with Rob, Rachel, John and Jacki and then to Showbox Market for Jay Farrar / Benjamin Gibbard’s One Fast Move Or I’m Gone tribute to Kerouac’s Big Sur, which isn’t our normal piece-of-fruit, musically speaking, but should be fun. Happy Birthday, us!
Not too shabby a dance card for an old bugger like me :).
