It’s been a hectic week of partying, in celebration of Shaun’s 21st. Various people have been staying here at different times, and I’ve been busy in the kitchen catering for 6, 7, 23 and 21 mouths.
Shaun’s girlfriend April brought with her some impressive vegetables from her Dad’s garden. I used the onion below in a paella.

The next evening it was a braai for Shaun and his friends.

When the drinking games started, I made my excuses and left. I wouldn’t want to show up the youth.
The next evening it was an appropriate 21 family and friends for the 21st slightly more formal party. I wasn’t aware of any drinking games at this one.

Later on, Andrew entertained everyone with some impressive guitar playing

What a fine looking young man!
Reading between the lines, I think you’re saying you were too blootered at the second party to notice any drinking games.
Fabulous photies! Fancy him being twenty one already! No dead animal photies or toilets either. Send him my regards. Say the reason I was drunk all the time was because that’s just the way I am.
Roddy, you have a beautiful family. I can not yet jump to retirement with the verve you have. Yanks are not as cool as you guys. tn Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:32:39 +0000 To: tnaughton@hotmail.com
John Mac,
That was several years ago, and we all know how much you have sobered up since then.

Thomas,
A family by definition is beautiful. Thank you for your comment. Yanks are far cooler dudes than anything this side of the pond, IMHO.
