Apr. 21st, 2007 11:08 pmToday has been frantic and thoughtful. It's left me with a bunch of things to talk about: how audiences are the magic spark for any work; how women age 20 talk about entirely different things at parties to women age 60 (well, mostly); how I've learned a whole new way of reading manuscripts. Maybe one day I'll expound on these weighty topics, but tonight I want to quickly mention something else I found out today.
Most of my local close friends will be out of town on ANZAC Day. Most of them are going down to various beaches, because it's suddenly quite crisp and autumnal here.
Those who are left and who decide my birthday is worth celebrating (not everyone likes birthdays, after all) might like to drop round. If you appear in the evening, three of us are doing a Regency Gothic Banquet test (one of the main courses - scrumptious food), so let me know in advance for planning purposes. If you come in the afternoon, however, there's no need to ring. Just turn up.
Bring things that go well in chocolate fondue, because I will have the wherewithal to make fondue, but nothing to dip in it except dry dates. If you really, really love dry dates, there's no need to bring anything. If you want particular drinks with your fondue, and those drinks aren't teas, coffees or hot chocolates, then you might want to bring those as well. (the plural reflects the various types of each sort of drink that are possible, which is actually quite worrying)
Anytime from 2 pm. BYO stuff to dip in the fondue. Ring on the day if you're coming over after 6 pm, just in case my evening plans change. If no-one comes then that chocolate fondue is all mine [insert evil laugh of choice], and so are all the dates. Or I could dip matzah. I still have a whole box of matzah. Or pickled cucumbers. I have a three kilo tin of pickles left over from Passover. On reflection, I won't offer anyone pickled cucumbers for their chocolate fondue. Maybe.
