Cacophonous Maladies

A nasty week this was and still continues to be. What with five different bugs descending leaving me completely indisposed and tied to the bed, my highlights of this week are drawn from a nebulous composite of the real and the delirious (It must be the painkillers talking). A few things that dawdle in my mind :

• Popping pills

• Long talks with a few friends; something that had been swept away by time and tide.

• Cooking, something that I love but rarely do. Cooked up a three course meal; 13 dishes with no leftovers - Clean Bowled.

• An hour long banter at a coffee shop about why Mr. Darcy is the embodiment of every girl's notion of a suitor in spite of his numerous character flaws. It ended on the exact same note as it always does that the very characteristics that drive the guys from even venturing nigh any Jane Austen novel are the ones that make a gal swoon and drool. Period.

•  Books that I devoured; My bed-stand houses a Jenga tower.

But the focal point that made the week worthwhile and rendered the aches and pains moot was 11 friends getting together for dinner and a night-stay (some taking a holiday and travelling over) exhibiting that life is all about simple yet deep-seated and sincere pleasures :-)
