At one of the Inauguration Balls last night.
As J finished work at midday today, we had our perfect Christmas dinner on Boxing Day evening…
Tom Aikens’ seven-hour cooked shoulder of lamb with balsamic and onions, the lamb sourced from Liz the Lamb Lady.
Potatoes dauphinoise.
Brussels sprouts.
Accompanied by a nice bottle of d’Arenberg Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier.
And Ella on the iPod.
L’artisan du Chocolat choccies now, mince pies later, maybe.
I had a really enjoyable visit to Zambia last week, spending four days in the office in Lusaka.
The weather was great – around 28-30 deg C, sunny with the occasional thunderstorm. People in the office were friendly and welcoming, and what I saw of Lusaka was great – particularly Marlin and Rhapsody’s restaurants. I only wish I had more time there.
I found this picture in a drawer – the friendliest dog on the planet.
