I had a lovely weekend, thanks to glorious weather and fabulous company. A potent combination, I say! We have chums who will shortly be shifting from their beautiful river-facing apartment to another swanky non-river-facing apartment in the same building. Not that we needed an excuse to pile on there, but we decided the present place needed a solid farewell.
We reached after a long traffic-riddled drive but the smell of well marinated kalmi kebab, paneer, Thai chilli sausages and paprika sprinkled halloumi cheese revitalised these weary bones thanks to A's well honed culinary skills. The increase in temperature was perfect for some lovely mojitos. Now, K has developed a well-nuanced routine to deliver these delicious cocktails. The most important portion being the "tribal crushed ice " dance. I think it's typical of us dentists to improvise, when you don't have a blender to crush you innovate. S took a real liking to this method and I foresee large cracks on our kitchen tiles shortly. I think a pictorial display would be of better help.
Ice cubes + towel + Crazy K = Crushed Ice
Mint+ Lime+ Crushed Ice+ Bacardi+ Soda
(Kalmi Kebab+ Chilli sausage+ Halloumi)/A = Yum
We headed back on Sunday afternoon listening to Radio 4 . The thing about old friends is that you pick up where you left off. You don't judge, you did that years ago and you accept each others' shortcomings. Making friends now at this age seems so much more complicated and difficult, or maybe it is just me. I dont have the patience or the acceptance I had many years ago. Or maybe they just have a lot to live up to.
