Yesterday's tea with the neighbors was a quite impromptu affair - and no, I didn't wear a corset. I neglected to even take a shower, actually. That morning we'd rolled out of bed and gone straight to work, and when my phone rang I actually had the end of a rope, the other end of which was attached to a tree that Eor was cutting down, and I was quite aware that the branches were probably going to reach to where I was standing when it fell, so I was prepared to pull and run, and I was not going to answer my phone at that moment. It turned out to be Bev calling to say 'meet me at Cathy and Al's in fifteen minutes.'
