Have rolled the pastry and covered the pie. The oven is heating up. It is now 4.30. I think Dorothy and Julian will be here between five and five thirty. I am now watching 'Fanny by Gaslight' on Film 4, having just watched 'Rock School'. A strange combination.
It is now Monday morning. Shortly after watching Fanny by Gaslight Dorothy and Julian arrived bearing a Rosemary plant, a huge easter egg and bunny. We drank cava cocktails. The lamb was delicious and the pie a success, luckily. We spent the evening drinking - they brought some very nice pudding wine, too, chatting, and occasionally checking Dorothy's online auctions. Funnily enough, considering that we only had one cocktail each, between three of us we only drank a bottle of wine and a glass each of the pudding wine. We ended up drinking coffee and nibbling truffles.
It is still cold today and I feel a very quiet day coming on, reading yesterday's papers which Dorothy and Julian were kind enough to bring me. Above is the sitting room today with egg and rabbit on the table, and it has started snowing again in a rather desultory fashion.
