It’s quite poor when you call a friend for the first time in ages and ask what he’s been up to through the summer only to be told “well… we’ve had another baby”. It made me realise that I have been a very poor friend and can’t even blame 3 months holiday on this as I didn’t even know that Tony’s wife was pregnant.
So off to Leeds to catch up on Tuesday evening.
Leave work at 5pm, drive slowly through the 50mph roadworks between Darlington and Boroughbridge, queue to get past the accident at Wetherby, go to the wrong Travel Lodge, drive around Leeds looking for Vicar Lane Travel Lodge, meet TC and drive to other end of the city, walk to restaurant, find that restaurant has no card machine working and we need cash, wait in restaurant while TC goes to nearby cashpoint, wait longer in restaurant while TC tries another cashpoint much further away as first one is broken, order food and eat at 9pm!
It was worth the wait as the steaks in this Argentinean restaurant were the best I have ever tasted, they are imported from Argentina and cooked to perfection. Apparently there is a saying in Argentina… “where there is no meat, there is no food”, I am guessing that if you are veggie you don’t holiday there ;o)
Had a great time catching up and drank far too much brandy! Ouch.
