Chie, Yuka and their Mum preparing for lunch.

I look rather happy here as I'm a big fan of this soy version of kara age.

I popped out after Chie's relatives left to buy the cheapest possible Negroni ingredients I could find from a nearby discount booze shop.

It made a fairly adequate Negroni.

I made pasta for dinner, and we decided to open the bottle of English sparkling wine (Furleigh estate) I'd bought as an omiyage for Chie's Dad.
