What a lovely weekend after all.
We picked Jessica up from London on Friday night. She was going to get the train - the first for two years - but the tube was shut down as there had been a 'casualty' on the line and she got really quite anxious with the crowds and various covid variants milling around. So she went home and we made the 169 mile round trip to get her. she was coming back to celebrate her sister's birthday (which isn't until Tuesday). Saturday saw us all going to a lovely quiet pub where the dog boys were good boys again and the wine was just as it should be. Back to #66 for marvellous fondue (there's nothing you can't eat as a vegan, except of course animals. Don't say you love animals then continue to support the abuse) and a several glasses of Prosecco. We had a sleep over - Jess on the settee - then once home I made the round trip back to London to take her home where I got to see the beautiful Billy (and Jack who didn't come as he has an essay to finish for uni and a cat to look after) 
A thoroughly good few days.
