The advantage of working the Sunday matinee is that you get to keep your evening after.
Joey decided he wanted a bonfire. He & Tommy (carpentry intern #2) live out of the city in a house shared with a bunch of tour actors. Henrico County again but the 'easternmost portion' this time.
Lauren, Emily & I headed out to join them for an evening of fire, beer & S'mores. It was a bit odd not to have to fully layer up November 5th-style. I still opted for hat, scarf & gloves out of principle though.
Up out of Church Hill, along the Osbourne Turnpike, stopping just short of Pocahontas Parkway, Varina feels pretty much "the middle of nowhere". Driving there reminded me of night-time drives over to Soberhill. All the better then a location for a bonfire. We kept it fairly tame by use of a fire pit although our carbon cardboard recycling produced some pretty big flames.
'Twas a good evening. (S'mores work so much better with Graham crackers.
I'm sure I've used digestives as a substitute biscuit before now.)
Lauren was happy that no-one was a pansy: we all employed good-from-the-ground
& perfectly well adaptable branches for toasting (or setting alight) our marshmallows.
