An afternoon out

Phew!

Well, now, there’s a thing … !

Can I make a confession?

Can I?

I think I’m going, anyway …

I’ve just had a rather nice dinner/lunch/meal/what-have-you, with the woman I love.

Which sounds vaguely tacky, I know, but there you go.

I do know that — with both of us out of work — it’s not that often we get to go out, as a couple.

And — Brentwood being Brentwood — there’s not that many choices for those on a budget.

There’s plenty of places around, though, that offer a fair compromise between price and quality, though, if you’re prepared to look, though.

Believe it or not, we went for Nandos.

Which is somewhere I know neither of us had been.

I think we were both pleasantly surprised with the Peri-Peri chicken wings, with chips that we had, although I know Allison’s not usually a big fan of spicy food.

She’s still not: I don’t think we finished the chicken.

But we did finish the chocolate cheesecake we had afterwards.

Which was SUPERB, by the way.

So, while I’ll admit we had a posh version of a KFC, I think I can speak for both of us.

And say we had a great St Valentines Day … !
