limited repertoire is admittedly in dire need of expansion but if it ain't broke don't fix it? this little rice cooker that could is worth its weight in gold, especially when doubling as a hotpot. happy problem being that spring has sprung (now i've gone and jinxed it it's defo going away again) and will soon be too hot for hotpot. lovely girlies came round for dinner and i think we've the funniest meet cute. was neighbours with A1 and groupmates with L in first year, groupmates with A2 in second year then clinical groupmates with all in third year. they were hostesses with the most, inviting me for parties at theirs which social anxiety (only half joking) prevented me from attending but i'd go round with a small gift before / after and stay for coffee. and suddenly it's final year and realising we're all headed in different directions, made a point to put what little time we still had together to good use.
they very sweetly came bearing wine and chairs (perils of having more friends than furniture...) and despite busy weekend plans (L had a 0130h overnight bus to catch, E was going to a conference the day after) stayed wonderfully late. i love dinners where we lose track of time because it doesn't matter and everyone is present. sound like such a stick in the mud when i whinge about my strong dislike for phones at the table but it does make a difference and it's nice to suspend the outside world for a couple of hours.
