Dark outside now . Drizzle and mists , but still warm. The living room window is open and the balcony door too. No sign of the moon. She's hiding behind the seven veils 
My lazy day took an active turn when a friend invited herself over. I showered dressed and popped out to the shop for a few supplies. In just over an hour I'd made bread, soup and gingernut biscuits 
Felt a sens of satisfaction. Achievement
Friend arrived with a bottle of Masi red wine , Perfect. Bread , soft blue cheese, "creme de potage aux carottes parfumée des epices indiennes " lousy French I know , but sounds better than cream of carrot soup mildly spiced with Indian spices 
It was surprisingly yummy conversation flowed and we had a really good evening. I'll do the dishes tomorrow
