While the girls are out for Anne's bachelorette party in L.A., the rest of us are invited for a leisurely afternoon at Arnaud's and Valerie's house. It is a perfect occasion to dig out the swimsuit that I didn't use since last November in Hawaii and the long socks (required to get in the house) that were kindly given to me during the bachelor party... I looked almost like Christian! The dinner was amazing, as always: Couscous with BBQ chicken and a birthday cake for dessert. Someone must have forgotten to mention the birthday on the invitation. Happy 29th birthday Valerie!
