Family drinks

Lunch in Annapolis

At the Dock Street Bar and Grill, bugers all round.

Visiting the boat

Day three of the families visit to DC for Xmas. We are in Annapolis to get some sailing clothes for my Father and show my sister Chuffed (the boat). Tried to get the engine started, but it was too cold and I gave up.

Dad and I having lunch at Stoney's, my neighbourhood bar. Mum and Joanna are clothes shoppikng. They all arrived safely and without delay from fog bound London last night. Mum had ommitted to tell me their flight details so I was a tad concerned.

Celebrating Xmas

Dinner at AV Ristorante, a DC institution. Due to close Oct 18 next year, a casualty of the gentrification of DC. The pic is of Jennie, who is not so amused by the photo!

Xmas Tree

I put up my tree yesterday. It is a quite a bit smaller than previoujs years, but fits well in the corner b y the stairs. I did, however, only have to use half of my lights and decorations. Ciao for now.

Lunch with Jacobsens

Lunch with Simon and Ruth at Peacock Café.

Los Amigos Invisibles

The pic below is of a Venezuelan band, playing at Black Cat. Great fun ......

Dinner with friends

Reinvigorating my blog

It has been quite some time since I have posted to my blog. I have upgraded so that I can now upload from my phone - which is what I am testing with this entry.

I am sitting taking a coffee in my local Caribou Coffee shop. It is a great day, although thirty degrees colder than it has been all week. A shame really, the last few days have been great winter sailing conditions - freah and breezy. Today - of course - it is just still and cold.

Visit soon!
