I nearly titled this Saturday

I'm up early.
I've got to dust off the house (seriously, the kitchen floor is filthy) and make it somewhat presentable.
I have myriad minor physical complaints (gee but my feet ache) but my Australian friend is visiting and I (and we) are bound and determined to put our best (aching) foot forward.
It's pouring rain, though it is supposed to clear, I suspect it will merely make it hotter and more humid.
Weather and dust aside, I could not be more excited to sit with Suse and talktalktalk.

In other news: I thought I needed a pair of sandals as mine have fallen apart and, in truth, I think I need a pair of sneakers to wear on my long walks. Or some Tsubos which are supposed to be lighter than air and softer than soft? Yes. Somehow I can picture myself in those rather than Nikes.

There are dozens of wonderful things about Nora Ephron on line, but this is one of my favorites, and I will certainly try this recipe.

Another genius? Manolo. Perhaps not of the same caliber as Ms. Ephron, but still.

Do you think Suse will want to see all of my house?
I'd better get dusting.

It's only Wednesday.
