Enjoyed a long overdue lunch today with one of my oldest friends (in every way), Lawrence, and his lovely wife Mel.  I suggested we go out for lunch but they kindly invited us over for an end-of-summer barbecue.  Check out my buddy manning the grill.

It was a belated birthday celebration of sorts as I missed out on his official birthday party in Portugal (on account of not being invited), but we made the most of it with saffron chicken, feta-less Greek salad, grilled zucchini, and assorted desserts.IMG_3421

Then it was time for presents!  An assortment of remaindered chocolates I managed to intercept as the health department was destroying the inventory from that foreclosed bonbon shop AND…a special shout-out from t.v. veteran and longtime cast member of my buddy’s favorite show – Coronation Street – William Roache (aka Ken Barlow)!

The video came in just as tea had been served.  Smashing timing.

  1. Just a thought re Amalgaverse: Invite blog regulars to throw their hats (names and avatars /images) in the ring.

  2. Corrie’s his favourite show! Didn’t see that one coming!

  3. Welcome to the sixty plus club Lawrence.

  4. What a wonderful celebration! Happy Birthday, Lawrence! That’s a pretty nice grill.

    Do tell about the chocolate shop’s demise. I’m sorry for them and their clients.

    Good luck with the flooding repair! I can’t believe they haven’t started yet. Stupid red tape, I’d imagine.

    Happy Sharky Sunday!

  5. How cool to meet up with an old friend! What I always find so great is that even if good friends have been apart for years, meeting up again just feels like picking up right where you left off, like there was never any real distance at all.
