We decided to kick off the season of goodbye parties (one is never going to be enough for Fini, obviously) with a barbecue/asado in Walnut Creek. Most of the usual suspects were here, and the weather added a nice British touch to the proceedings. As barbecue usually means "black on the outside and frozen in the middle" on our side of the Atlantic, I left the grilling to Jack and Pete.
We had a full house overnight with both the Singers and the Murnanes staying chez Davies, and after a lot of nagging from Hannah Singer we went for a swim on Sunday. It didn't last long - a few degrees lower and the water would have been solid.

Not long now.

Then some of us took the plunge...

The Maya and David acrobatic troupe. It would have been easier to balance if she wasn't shivering so much.
Warming up again afterwards.
