I give up, let her wear as much pink as she likes

It was my mother-in-law's 60th birthday on the weekend, an occasion which clearly demanded a big do and duly received one at Tanglewood. Music and wine were the big themes, and I participated in both rather more than was good for me. As you can see, I wasn't the only one to have a good time.

I was pleased it was a fun affair, because I spent the remainder of the weekend erecting flat-pack furniture and watching maudlin if brilliant Swedish films.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at the Enmore tomorrow - wahey!
