Booba again

Was supposed to meet Booba for lunch, but Danny got called into the brig for someone early in the morning, so that was postponed until teatime. Actually had a really nice time: she seemed relaxed, everyone was on good behavior and she actually seemed to like my gift (a really pretty scarf I had found in Rome, remembering that she tends to use them to cover her hair). Oh, and she had framed the picture of Dad, Abby and I from earlier. Was given the standard bag of chocolates and tea to bring back, and my stating that I had no room in my suitcase managed to cut it in half. Unfortunately the figs won't be completely ripe before I leave, but I got to try one that was almost there, and it was fabulous. She has some really nice plums growing in the yard as well. Went back to the house and hung out for a while, then picked up some Chinese Takeaway, which was much better than the stuff I had had before (went out of the way to order spicy stuff this time, which helped, but it never would be considered spicy at home) and ate waay too much of that, then straight to bed (After finally watching Donny Darko which I liked, but I don't really understand the cult film status).
