J has acquired some more beef fillet steak from Prinos, which is primarily a greengrocer's but does have quite a good butchery. So Jane and Bill round to dinner. Have also picked up leeks and local strawberries from Prinos as well as a purple lettuce, and a perfect little fresh cauliflower. Two Conference pears for the fruit salad. Pears at home always seem to be either hard or mushy, and those bought hard go to mushy with no intermediate step of firm and sweet. Or would it be different if we lived in the city?
Jane calls to say they'll be early. They're in town getting a Taylor brace for Jane's back, as recommended by the neurologist, who says that she has two more cracked vertebrae, presumably from the fall that broke her femur. Hip now no real problem so fingers crossed on back improvement. Borrow one of the two chairs that sits unused by the fourth floor lift for her. Padded, straight back, and right height for the table. Can't imagine anyone noticing its absence. We don't really run to much in the way of either furniture or serving dishes or glassware....But it works, and we wonder why we need all the things we have at home. Think I would probably miss only the art on the walls if we travelled full time. Well, and people. But they're never gathered in one spot.
