I hosted a dinner last Sunday – a ‘catered’ event. Though it was at mine, the guests weren’t :).

Last night was lit. This morning, my eyes are somehow but I’m thankful I have a lot to be thankful for. For family and friends, for health, for God, for my children, for food. I had a few friends round last night – damn, so much love and laughter. Sooooooooooo much. The menu was pretty...
