The day after

Last night we finally threw our Thanksgiving meal for a few friends who braved snow, ice and the unco-operative nature of Aberdonian taxi drivers to come around. My girlfriend cooked up a supremely delicious meal: turkey, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole and all the trimmings. There was wine and merriment and then everyone had to go out and face the snow again (another few inches had fallen during the course of the evening, just to make sure of things).

Today, after a massive clear-up operation all that is really left are the flowers from the centrepiece (Kangaroo's Feet, apparently) and the fairy lights up above the window. They make a nice combination.
