We had people over at the weekend. It was good fun, wine was consumed and we've fulfilled our hosting obligation for a while. However there were a few other benefits I noticed that, despite the hangover, have made me happy today. Firstly the house got a really good clean and we also did some niggly jobs we never normally get round to like touching up some paintwork, fixing a couple of broken things, hanging some pictures that had been leaning against the wall etc. Secondly our guests brought us some lovely gifts and flowers and wine . Lastly I always make way too much food and despite being pissed I put it all in the fridge at the end of the night and today I've frozen eight portions of casserole which means quite a few nights where I don't have to cook after work. I don't really know what the point of this post is other than to say that I'll probably entertain more often as if nothing else it gets all the jobs around the house done that we normally wouldn't be arsed doing.
