Came home from class today to see a small family of Canada Geese have set up home at our pond! They're quite large - so intimidating they've sent the ducks hiding in the reeds - with black necks and heads, and every now and then they let out a distinctive honk. Don't know how long they'll be rooming with us on their migration south, but they're a sure sign that summer is over, red rover. Today is the final day, I reckon. 29 degrees now but down to the teens tomorrow (minimum forecast to be 6).
We survived last night's stint as guest chefs at the Fellows' dinner, but are both buggered today. By the time we walked home with our foodstuffs and leftovers it was early morning. All went okay. Some dishes went out without their sauces and I worry that some didn't make it all the way around the long table, but everything was enthusiastically received - particularly the barbecued haloumi, the lime and chilli prawns and even the garlicky cevapçi. Finally, Lisa and Chuck's tiramisu and layered ice cream were absolutely divine. We wrapped up with French brie and Michigan apples. Thank God it's over.
