Lots of fun to catch up and have a young child in the house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday night we had a late (for me) dinner at the lovely Anchoita restaurant with colleagues and foodies Shawn and Angie.

On my walk home, I popped into the small popular arts museum to see what interesting textiles they had.
