I went to a marvellous party....

not very like the one in the Noel Coward song, but very fabulous in its own way.   I enjoyed it because there was a select handful of people we know locally and really like - and a vast number of people who we'd never met - and some of whom were willing and happy to talk to strangers.  As a result we stayed until 4.45am - and returned in the early morning light.  Quite extraordinary, as was the hangover today.

It was Jeff's birthday party - Jane his wife is one of my mini-book group... Unfortunately, the effects of the alcohol mean I am not in my most concentrated writing mood - so perhaps the report can wait until tomorrow.
