Ran in place to the remainder of a rewatching of 1917 on Netflix DVD, this time the Sam Mendes commentary. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk and sliced banana; water. Folded laundry that Patrick had washed earlier. Midmorning meal: delivery from Les Gourmands Bakery: ham and swiss croissant, almond pain au chocolat, oranais, and two sables de normandie. We shared the ham and swiss. I ate the oranais. We saved the rest for later. Decaf coffee for Patrick, water for me. Dusted, vacuumed, and tidied. Patrick napped, then I napped. Dinner at home with Patrick, Chris, and Andy: gumbo ya-ya with chicken and andouille; Creole boiled rice; heirloom tomato and Vidalia onion salad; Commander’s garlic bread; peaches and cream ice cream with sablé de normandie butter cookie (almond for Chris and Andy, chocolate chip for Patrick and me), sparkling water, water, brut cava, Alley 6 spiced peach liqueur. Always a fine evening when spent with Chris and Andy.
