I am cleaning the italian espresso machines and making coffee too. we have two. Dillon is singing about life in the ghetto. I discovered that album at the greatest reggae store I ever saw and black music: Jam city, in New  York City somewhere circa 2000.

Later that night...

Hubby is in Auckland now. Phyllis Dillon is still singing, it is a long album, and I have cleaned the table and changed the tablecloth. I have yet to do a bit of cleaning before everything is nice and welcoming. I bought two ice cream pots, flavours he likes, and I should probably defrost some vychissoise. I wanted to buy milk and earl grey tea. I think that is all I need to get before 1pm tomorrow. The table cloth I put on is kitsch to the max: pastel and yellow pineapples! ah ah... I quite like it. We have two sizes.
