Tessy had her 3rd birthday a few days ago and here is a photograph of her with a present sent from my Mum. She is never quite sure what to do with toys, squeek, bury or stash them, but she was suitably excited when I found the parcel in the post box.
Last night Fred master stair builder and his wife Pat came over so that we could say 'thank you' for their help with the stairs with a meal.
We toasted our new staircase with a bottle of champers and had a hastily prepared raclette. We like the raclette and love this social way of eating, and luckily Fred and Pat were thinking of buying one so it gave them an opportunity to test one out.
I say hastily prepared as we had both been out all day working so when we got home there was some frantic chopping and marinating going on!!!
Super day was had by all, then!
ReplyDeleteRaclette is fun...I didn't bring ours out here, but should have done.
can you get them in Costa Rica?
ReplyDeleteOk so I had to look Raclette up - new to me, but it sounds interesting. Can I come to dinner to try it out LOL Diane
ReplyDeleteYou're gagging to get back out aren't you Diane!!?! You know you are welcome xxx
ReplyDeleteNo...they've never heard of it/them.
ReplyDeleteBut I think it would go down well so I'll ask the next visitors to bring one out.
Oh...now I remember why I didn't....different voltages! Curses.
Damn - mind you, the raclette cheese may be a tad difficult to find too!!!
ReplyDeleteI've just had to google raclette too! Sounds interesting. Jasper will have to have a new toy or two for christmas, because he seems to have lost several of them. Or visiting dogs have stolen them!
ReplyDeleteDo you get visiting dogs? It always looks like you are in the middle of nowhere!
ReplyDeleteWell, I meant friends' dogs really, but yes we do also get the odd roaming hunting dog.
