Christ!

We are in North London for Dana, Dakota and Calvin's christening at the Church of The Most Holy Trinity and then aftewards, a party at their place in Primrose Hill.  The ceremony filled with interruptions from babies crying and little kids running about, as it should be. Ours watch with raised eye, as though to say - "can you believe how rude these children are?"  Dana's place filled with champagne, food and cheer, as it always is. I recall an evening some many years ago and Dana with an enormous carving knife, she hidden behind a rack of meat Flintstones style.  And it is true - we no longer entertain like we once did.  In our hay day, during those go-go Internet years, de rigeur was two dinner parties a week and usually a week end brunch; Sonnet likes to say we fed all of Maida Vale.  We met a lot of people then and many of those good ones still with us today, God bless.

At the party, Nathan finds the ManU vs. Chelsea game on the Internets which is the ticket. Unfortunately, the Blues defeat the Red Devils 1-nil.
