So sorry about the absence of posts recently: it was Tom C's 21st yesterday, and the celebrations have lingered on .... ! We had a great time, and a feast of a meal last night, including, if you can believe it, 'mouse wine', served complimentarily by the proprietor of the restaurant. I'm sure you've all sampled said tipple, but lest you should not have done, it's a bottle of some spirit or other with a dead mouse at the bottom of the bottle. You can try it at Xi'an's in Summertown. Tell Gary I sent you.

I think that's enough for now.

Goodnight.
