It's been quite a weekend... the day after Faith's party I had the all day office party - which included an hour of salsa dancing training. It would have been a blast had I known the people a little better and the teacher hadn't been quite so determined to show that she had the sass to match her salsa. Best quote though had to be "Women, small steps and men - as much as it hurts - try to commit, just this once, try to commit.'
Last night was a farewell to Alex and Christiana - two of my favorite people around. Alongside our friend Ali they were about the only people who visit us during the worst days of my cancer. It was Alex's brunch into which I coughed blood after chemo session #1 and it was Christiana who kept Judith sane with shopping trips and tales of a childhood spent on the road. Alex and Christiana are moving to London, a good move for them but we will miss them - and miss them a great deal.
We had brunch with them today - and with our friends Shruti and Mandar (who brought their fantastically bright son Ishan)... a mirror of the brunch we had with them yesterday - joined by our friends Michael, Joanna and their fantastically bright son Ollie.
Coming up we have drinks with the Lodge 212ers. We have Top Dog at the Harlem Apollo with J.Lum and 'his' 'lovely lady' and we have long evenings in front of the Xmas tree. Which is just as well as I'm starting to feel the effects of constant brunching, boozing and having dinner out.

Even when you were coughing blood into Christiane's bread basket you were best company one could have. We're missing you guys, but anticipating your stay on our fluffy red couch... A + C
