MARGARET makes breakfast for Les and I – Matty just has cornflakes and is heading out for a run.

All the lids and grandkids are coming this afternoon for the night and there’s a lot of food prep to be done. I marinade chicken for the grill while Les and Margaret prepare roast veg and pre-cook some pork belly slices.

We’re good to go when Mikey arrives followed by Catriona, Will and the kids…then Matty gets back from his run.

We have a great afternoon, evening and night of chat, grub, drinks….a grand double birthday celebration for Margaret and I.
