(Friends and Neighbours – Billy Cotton & His Band)
We had our next door neighbours plus a visiting friend of theirs for dinner.
We were up early and got the house cleaned prior to going to the gym. Knowing I’d probably have a bit of wine tonight I did a little extra at the gym: treadmill, bike, and yoga. I’ve never sweat so much at a regular yoga class. There were a few younger women in today’s class and Richard feels the instructor always does a more intense class when they’re in the class. I was exhausted after but it felt good. A quick stop at Starbucks for his coffee and my matcha green tea latte and then back home for meal prep.
We decided to serve Thai Chicken and Cherry Red Curry with rice 
plus a lovely light dessert of greek yogurt, kiwi, mandarin oranges topped with a sweet drizzle.
I set the table as good as I could as we’re using the dishes, glassware, and cutlery that are in this house. It didn’t look too bad. How sweet that I actually found cloth serviettes in one of the kitchen drawers. Score one for me. They look so much better than paper ones.
The neighbours are from Michigan and are lovely women. It’s so enjoyable to meet people from different places and learn about their experiences.
Richard cooked the meal and it was absolutely delicious. The guests said the same. He is a great cook. That’s a good thing. There was no lack of conversation. They’re retired teachers so I have that in common with them. They’ve come here for years and have lots to share with us.
It was a wonderful evening and hopefully we’ll have more of them.
Nite y’all
