"Yes, that's what app on my phone says,!" He replied, "I'm 38!" He looked sheepish and a little confused. He is 34 and I am 3 years (4 years now, until November) older than he is, what is confusing about that? "Ah he said, stupid app!"
Last year I didn't receive a card, I was told it was at work" and that he would get it to me when he returned to work. I never got the card that said "Happy Birthday to my wife" on my first birthday as someone's wife. This is still a sore spot as you can tell.
We lounged around the house, I replied to Facebook and text messages and Skyped my parents in Germany. The we decided to go out for a spot of lunch. I have always wanted to go to the Crazy Bear restaurant in Stadhampton. It is a wonderful kooky place with a bear hidden in the ceiling and reception housed in a double decker red bus. When we arrived I looked everywhere for someone to talk to but the place was deserted, just as I was about to give up a man emerges from the floor, I should have looked down! "We have no places available all weekend, you should have booked!" "We were just passing anyway!" I lied.
Just when I thought my fate was to go to the all you can eat Chinese buffet and partake in a spot of ten pin bowling, like a spotty teenager (I love bowling, I'm just being dramatic) I remembered a pub that we had visited years ago. It have a lovely garden with lots of nooks and crannies, you can sit around the table behind a hedge and never be seen by another sole again. G.O couldn't remember a thing, even as we pulled into the car park he wasn't convinced he had ever been there before. As we walked through the garden and he saw the building he said "I do remember this place we sat over there!"
The place hadn't changed much, it has a very chilled, calm vibe and as we arrived we were greeted by the landlady who showed us to a table tucked away in a nook by the, thankfully unlit, fire. The menu was simple, I can't cope when there is a lot of choice, and they had a set menu to choose from. I went for the dressed crab and Sea bass, with crushed potatoes and G.O had the risotto and belly pork. (Simple menu but it still took the pair of us ten minutes to remember what had to eat). We sat and chatted, putting the world to rights as only we can, we made some exciting decisions (I won't share just yet) one of which was that we would make the Mole Inn our new local, everyone needs a place that they always go to, Pizzeria Venezia anybody?
