J spent Thursday being ill then on Friday morning woke up & said 'I feel a lot better so I'm going to school.' Hooray! P had day off so he drove him in. Reason he had day off was so he could make cherry clafoutis & polenta cake for party we were going to in the evening. This was a middle age sort of party - eating + conversation + playing a couple of games. There were lots of people I knew & everyone was being sympathetic & nice to me. We played this really good game called the 'present game'. Everyone was asked to bring a cheap gift - either something nice or something silly. Then everybody took 3 cards from a pack. From another pack the leader turned over every third card & if was your turn you took a wrapped present. When all presents taken if your card was turned over you either took a present from someone who had more than one or else swapped with someone who had only one. General idea was everyone ended up with at least one but not necessarily one they liked. We went home with a really gaudy make up bag & 2 candles but at least we got rid of the Simpsons bottle stopper we won at the school fair.
