Restful Sunday

Cravant was strangely quiet on Sunday. Nothing and no one seemed to be moving. As for the Shearing household, the morning remains a bit of a mystery. Fatigue had well and truly crept in. I remember not remembering that Mike had very kindly brought me a cup of coffee. Apart from that nothing registers until lunchtime, which was a fleeting mouthful, and then getting ourselves sorted out to meet up with friends at the cinema at 5pm to see Le Grand Mariage/The Big Wedding with Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams. Perfect Sunday afternoon viewing for the half-awake, featuring a stellar cast making a stellar job of a weak script with a predictable ending. Played to perfection by all, it was as a result very, very funny. Back we went to Cravant. Our friends arrived shortly after. We all relaxed outside in balmy early evening sunshine, before sitting down to mushroom risotto which was followed by another pavlova. I'd made two. A large pavlova for Saturday and a smaller one for the four of us on Sunday. It all worked out very well. Our friends had also had a good evening the night before, at a birthday dinner party and like us they had achieved a significant level of haziness. Another good evening together, as per usual when the four of us meet up, with lots of interesting conversations and laughter. Great way to wind up the weekend.
