Out

Popped out for a work night out this evening and it was rather splendid. Only 4 of us ended up being able to go, but I think that was actually better for me cos it's a group size I can comfortably handle; you get to properly talk to everyone, there's never a time when you feel left out of chats or anything. We went to Bacchus for dinner where we chatted so much the waitress had to come back to us 3 times before we could actually order (oops; luckily it wasn't busy so we weren't being too irritating, I don't think!), and I had a really delicious rabbit pie (marginally disappointed at the lack of pastry though) and sticky toffee pud with bourbon vanilla ice cream. Rashad was in the mood for a martini so we headed to Fox & Chance for a couple of lovely cocktails. Somehow it was suddenly 23:10 and two of the four of us have kids to get home to so we scarpered pleasantly full and lightly tipsy. I managed to get my last bus and was busy being smug about saving money on taxis when the bus had to stop at One Stop and we all got kicked off because the bus' battery was dead..! Ended up having to get an Uber and paying £7 to go about an 8 minute drive... Bah.
