Fantastically entertaining dinner party at the home of our friends Jo and Mark last night. It's always a food spectacular and last night was no exception. Jo and Mark are infamous not only for arriving very late to other people's dinners but also for always appearing to be totally unprepared for their own guests' arrival. Jo has usually only just stepped from the shower moments before we appear on the doorstep and food prep seems miles from completion. But then as time passes, while we all sit around devouring bread, olives and Champagne and having a great time chatting and shelling peas, something magnificent emerges from the kitchen and we are suddenly sitting down to an amazing meal. We had a great time but I feel a tad on the Boris Yeltsin side of things today. The girls and I have just taken Rob to the airport for a teary goodbye and now have an empty day ahead of us in 30 degrees.
