Mary came over for dinner today!

Jenny made four cheese lasagna and Mary made lemon meringue pie, we had a bottle of Chateau Rouge and it was basically the Best Meal. A cook and a baker, I am a lucky man.

I think we were a little hazy-happy by the end, and what with Mary and Jenny in the same room we never kept to a topic long enough for me to write what we talked about. I don't know what it is that these women do that they can always understand each other's vague statements, even having just only met.

Jenny swept off to do dishes for some reason before coming back with the dessert, so Mary and I had a bit of a serious talk about friends- and when Jenny returned with cake somehow it immediately jumped to 'recipes gained from grandmothers'.

I didn't even know Mary had a grandmother! ;)

What with my girls apparently getting along like a house on fire (did you get a standing invitation to the Book Club while I wasn't looking, Mary? You've got to come to a Quiz Night first.) I didn't really do much more than relax and enjoy by the end, haha.

Jenny was in her element, of course, hostess as always. I'm half-surprised she hasn't tried to open her own restaurant, to be honest, just hired the chefs and waltzed about the dining area. (Lovely image, isn't it?)

Anyway. It's nice to have a night in with friends. Should have them more often. Bill, I don't suppose you and Millie are free next Friday?

S, Jenny and I finally had the discussion about what we wanted to sitting room to look like. (Is 'we' accurate? Just kidding Jen, you know I love you.) Dogs were out back, cab fees were payed, consulting fees were not but we'll get to that later, S better do something useful will all that money (like buy more pink enamel, ha!) etcetera etcetera.

It's always red, isn't it. Whatever you two want, I guess.

Jenny asked for pretty specific things for the (extremely expensive) mural she wanted. S did not seem to agree very much, so I asked him to send me something he'd prefer to do and that would fit Jen's room still. Got it in my email last night. Classy stuff.

S- by the way, I printed a copy out and signed it for your files, in case you needed it.

Jenny was busy yelling at me for going over her head, but if I'm decoding right her feelings are more or less 'wow I never would've thought of that but its really nice.' But, you know, I could be wrong. ;) She signed it as well, so I think it's fine.

She calmed down when I told her the price difference in the estimations though, hahahaha!

Anyway. See everyone Saturday, yea?

Jenny wants to renovate the sitting room. To impress the book club, no doubt: Bill, I'm blaming Millie. ;)

Anyone in the London area know a good interior designer that doesn't charge ridiculous fees? I'd be quite appreciative. 1000-word fic appreciative, even?
