A good time was had by all

This is actually last weekend's news, but with the busyness and added fatigue of getting back into the swing of things after a vacation I'm getting a little behind.

So we got back from Rome late on Thursday night, and Friday woke up, checked our RSVPs, and discovered that we were having seven people over for lunch the next day! (It's rare to get so many people willing to drive down to Valenciennes, so we were surprised at the turn-out.) So that gave us one day to hurry and set everything up and stock up on everything we'd need—we've never had so many people over at once. We had raclette, which has the advantage of being easy to prepare and really good. We also used our wedding silver for the first time.

So the guests arrived at 12:30, and left at 11:30, which we take to be a sign that everyone enjoyed themselves :-) We played Jungle Speed, which as usual was a big success as a party game—it's simple to understand and yet still requires reflection, and reflexes. If you have a password you can have a look at a video clip of us playing here.

This weekend we visited another couple on Saturday and did some shopping in Lille, today Emilie worked on her project in iDVD (her new favourite thing), and I played a whole lot of Castlevania DS, where everyone will be thrilled to know I've made it to the final boss, but I need to go back and find the black panther and hippogryph souls before I'll have any chance of beating him :-)
