Woke at a decent time today - about 8, but laid in until just before 9. I stayed in my pyjamas for breakfast, and then had a leisurely shower. I have to say, it was quite nice to just stay still for a while.
I went online and found seven emails waiting for me. I copied them to a WP and replied to them offline. I had messages from Mum, Dave, Kyllie, Casey, Nat, and Myles - it was cool. Sue, Philip and Rosie arrived just before 12, and I went and finished getting ready. I wrote some more, then I had to go and be social.
I met Allan and Jean - their three children Simon, Richard and Beverly, and Beverly's husband Simon and daughter Katie, and Simon's son Edward. Simon, Richard and Beverly are Jill's second cousins. They are all very nice people. For a while after lunch, Richard, Philip and I escaped and listened to some jazz CDs - in particular Diana Krall, whose gig Janet had filled in for at the Basement when I went to see Ben that time. She's pretty cool.
The visitors had all left by about 8pm, although I was a bit sorry to see Philip, Sue and Rosie go. I still have to practise, send the emails I wrote, and read some more guidebooks before I go to bed. OK - I read the guidebooks and sent the emails, but didn't practise (NAUGHTY NAUGHTY!). I watched the video footage from Jill's camera instead and had a bit more wine and cheese. I then rang Mum and rang Heidi for her birthday. I think Heid was a bit chuffed that I thought of her - she was at the Olympics.
