Big Parties post Covid

It's Scoff's 60th. He's building a house too. We're in this together. And we have shared our lives partying in town and under the stars. We also have an Ohau connection. Scoff's sister and husband own the ski field and lodge. The Morris family, my Mum's, have held our big family reunions at Ohau. It's a special place in the Mackenzie Basin by a glacially carved lake in the middle of the Southern Alps. Remote and pristine. So I give Scoff a framed painted photograph of the Ohau Road. It's his place rather than mine, and the picture could be now or 100 years ago. It's timeless.
The party is one of our all in house parties with Scoff and Rene dj'ing and Hasy on lights. Catching up en masse is overdue. Good music, good food, interesting chats, including one with Melanie who thinks Donald Trump is too maligned. I give up on that one.
