Our 52nd Anniversary

Had a lovely long coffee with a good friend this morning and then Fiona was here for part of the day ( so Dad could work) -she was out of sorts -not feeling well- but managed some races with the Swedish figures, an easel Xmas painting, a few books and lots of time on the couch with her iPad games. (Not her usual self) A few errands and then we had to sit quietly for a short time before walking up to our favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant to sit at the bar and have a glass of prosecco and smoked mussels (tuna for H) to celebrate 52 good years together on this the solstice, shortest day of the year...Well we were a bit late ( 5:45) and there were only 2 separate seats at the 11 seat bar... The lovely people rearranged themselves for us to sit together and we found ourselves between 2 very nice ( also "senior" )couples . One was from the neighborhood, he from Yorkshire, she from Finland, celebrating their 47th anniversary today! We had a lovely time and ended up for coffee at their place nearby in the neighborhood .. Never too late to make some new friends!
