And very cool it was too.

Not ONLY was yesterday Meg's 16th birthday , not ONLY did my Dad (General Jackson's dad too) try to fly to India and found he had a major visa muck up, but ALSO, nm, (Ernesto the Basset's mum), stopped by to visit on her way to Greece from Seattle to smooch dogs.

She brought the most divine chocolates:

and some Alaskan smoked salmon that made Brian swoon when he got home.

It was great to see her, we sat and nattered and talked and ate etc.


I let KuBrin take her for a little walk:


I think she liked the dogs, though I'm not certain she was prepared for either the size of the wolfie, or his farts.
