A Little bit of Greek!

Last night I have a very welcome evening out with my friend Karen, known in this house as 'Karen over the road' !!! Karen is passionate about Corfu, a place where she has been on holiday to for the past  30 years. When we decided to go out for a bite to eat and a catch up chat, we decided to go Greek.

This was a bit of a departure for me as I have never really 'done' much in the way of Greek food. On Karen's advice we tried the Meze. The waiter bought us lots of bowls of different foods and I tried stuff that I have never eaten before. For one, Aubergine, which was made into a very nice dish with a sauce and it very tasty. Number two was my all time hated vegetable, beetroot. I had tried it once as a kid and thought it tasted like eating mud. The one last night was pickled and in a sweet tasting sauce and was absolutely fine, in fact it tasted of the sauce and not really of beetroot. I did draw the line at calamari!!

It was nice to catch up again, we live so close but have to make the effort to go out or we are like ships that pass in the night!!!

One for Sue.

Morning!!!!
This post is for my friend Sue, who reads my blog and tell me things about myself I have long forgotten. Last night we went out for a meal, something we do regularly. The strange thing is that 4 of us meet up and its usually spaced so that its someones birthday, so its usually a case of making sure you have presents for the right person. Last night was not any ones birthday so it felt odd arriving with nothing .
Anyway we went to The East, Chinese food, it was very nice and although I hadn't eaten since lunch time it was filling and we didn't manage to finish it all, I still feel stuffed this morning.
There is so much going on in my life at the moment that I don't seem to have time to sort anything out. Our holiday is looming (in a nice way) but I don't seem to have thought about any of the things I need to do for that. The dog needs her second injection a couple of says before we go. I need to shop, check all the documents,(which I know are OK, but you have to check)
Tom is going to start 'decladding' the bathroom today and then remove the tiles beneath, just a bit at a time. I can't wait to see my new bathroom - should that now be shower room as there won't be a bath in sight!!!
Have a good day.
