If I were to write about Saturday's party, it would be a very long post. So maybe only the keys points: Sam and kids arranged for food and drinks and invited friends. Friends invited more friends, I have not seen the house this full. The Taiwanese artists were the guests stars, making themselves at home seating in a circle chatting and laughing. Other than Brian, there's another face from the the past. I greet her warmly and we will see what happens from now on.
Zayn, Richard, Lai are surprise guests as are Ivy, Amelia and their aunties - they had a good time with mom. I was hoping for one other to join us, but something has happened. I can only guess at the source of this, perhaps it is to do with the children, or what we are doing with the house, or is not fulfilling some part of our filial duty. Sad - as Pam puts it. Comparing too much, and being bitter when falling short - saying not nice things about people, things that should not be part of the conversation.
It's ok, the folks who came enjoyed themselves. And although we told them no presents, I have a new tee shirt, a tea set, a bag of mangoes and apples (from Khalid) and a table of wine and liqueur.
