Mayors wear bling to remind everyone that they are the mayor
Remember our mayor? Aber had a big night out last Saturday when several members of Monty Python came for a charity fundraiser. Sue Jones-Davies finally got the ban on “The Life of Brian” lifted and invited Terry Jones and Michael Palin to come for the screening. The evening included champagne reception, screening, and the Q&A afterwards (including the inane question, “Is there still a place for comedy today’s society?”). We sneaked some photos with the celebs.
"It's symbolic of his struggle against reality" (the reality that he has no idea I'm in the picture)
It was a fun evening, lots of press around, snapping our pictures. We were very glad not to miss it.
Notice Dan with champagne in each hand.
It was definitely the most exciting night that Aber had seen in a long time! It also happened to be our friend, S’s, birthday. After the Pythons went to bed, we were up celebrating with a delicious cake that she baked.
Happy Birthday S!
Just before, we also had another set of visitors. K and his parents came from the Midwest and had a grand tour of the UK with a few days with us in Aber. Dan was very excited to talk about Midwest stuff, including the UI basketball team, with people who actually knew what he was talking about. We saw the starlings at dusk, the Aber Castle, and red kites.
K, Dan, Aber
Luckily, the weather was beautiful, which will hopefully lure our visitors back in the future!

How’d you get invited to the Python event? Sounds like it was fun!
Anyone could buy tickets, and all proceeds went to charity. It was definitely fun!
