Appreciating Sons

The weekend past in a blur of pottering, April showers, dinner and drinks with Chris and Fiona and Phil.

When Chris and Fiona came over I cooked Italian and it all seemed to go well. We sat at the table and ate and drank and chatted mostly about politics and world events. Chris showed Fiona some old photo's and talked about his life in Amsterdam. It was good watching him and Fiona chatting. I felt very proud of my handsome and clever son with his beautiful girlfriend sitting on my sofa and I keep thinking how lucky I am to have two lovely sons. They seem to be at the height of their youth...mind you every age they have been I have thought it was the best so maybe when they hit forty I'll still be thinking that then...I hope so.

As they didn't go till nearly 2 in the morning Sunday found me tired and hungover and I basically just pottered about. Downloading music and podcasts, reading the Sunday papers with newly brewed fresh coffee and sitting with Phil talking about what is in the news with the April sun shining in makes you feel good to be alive.
