Day 1939 Supersized

4th December 2022

After a sleepless night we both didn’t feel like hosting Greer’s birthday cake fest.

What sleep we had was wholly inadequate, but a commitment is a commitment.

We were given numbers for the family gathering that meant we had to make some snacks as a prequel to the cake cutting.

As the time ticked away we waited for the hordes to descend. The expectation of twelve bodied ended up as six, so a anticlimax to say the least. The snacks were delicious and quickly eaten, and I cut the cake exceptionally large. For some reason the usual slice size is so thin that it’s difficult to know that you’ve eaten anything.

The group then broke up and we crashed out for the rest of the evening, although I spent a couple of hours masking two chairs ready for sanding.

I felt better after doing that, as it wasn’t a totally wasted day.
