Tonight we had some friends over for dessert.

Justin made a delicious little treat of macerated berries with cream . . .

. . . which we served with shortbread cookies and French got chocolate . . .

. . . we had a cosy little turnout — ten people in all — and a lot of fun talking in the living room until somebody remembered that tonight was the night of the full lunar eclipse! Whereupon we hastened to the roof and watched the moon turn an eerie shade of rust.
