party!
Many thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gr_c17's mum, who threw a lovely engagement party for soccer_fox and me yesterday on the principle that *someone* ought to and if our families were too far away, then *she* would make sure it was done properly. And it was! Loads of delicious food and drink, lots of fun company, and much merriment. We got a number of sweet and thoughtful presents and had a lovely time!
And belated thanks to my dad--he gave me a gift certificate to LL Bean's for my 42nd birthday which I only just redeemed today. I have a new belt and two pairs of shoes on their way, and his gift paid for the belt and one pair of shoes! Much appreciated, Pa! I will certainly use them "here or [in] the Scottish isles" as the note with the gift suggested. :-)
Everyone be nice to Neta today--her boys (Blackburn Rovers) lost at home to the Hammers this morning...
Now I have to go off and write a short essay on one good observation and one flaw I found in Bernard Lewis's "Islam and the West". The former will be MUCH harder than the latter.
