Dinner with two of our children and the children of one of them, thirteen in all, a couple of bottles of ersatz champagne, two of decent Australian reds, roast lamb with the trimmings, city-organised fireworks display at 8.30, then games and conversation until 1.00am. All-in-all, a pretty good night!
