The best worst night out:)

Now, this may seem strange, but we had our best worst night out this weekend! Right at the last minute our friend Melissa invited us to come and stay with her for the weekend. So, on Saturday, right after signing up at the gym we meandered our way up to Glastonbury, Connecticut. Had a great afternoon out. First we went via an antiques fair...although our opinion was it was more of a car boot sale (not sure what the US equivalent is..but you get the idea) and then we went shopping....one of my favourite stores is the Christmas Tree shop. It's like a thrift shop, very cheap and lots of stuf you never knew you wanted. Good example is that i bought some gift bags for 79c, along with a whole bunch of other stuff.

Melissa also has a new black labrador puppy called Lily - so we spent A LOT of time with her. I am so glad we weren't with Melissa when she collected her as I know we would have brought one home.

Later that evening we were all meeting up with Pauline and Gary for dinner. This is where the fun started:) We all had a couple of glasses of wine at Melissa's before heading to the restaurant. We got seated relatively quickly....and then it went downhill from then on. It took 20mins to get a "Hi" and drink and food order in, another 10 mins to get the bread etc. We didn't order appetizers, because we thought we wouldn't eat it. This was around 7.30pm - 7.45pm. We were STILL waiting at 9.30pm for dinner. Can you believe that? We had a blast though...the waitress offered us a drink on the house and the entertainment was this weird guy doing Mick Jagger impersonations. That was pretty funny. Then.....when dinner finally arrived - it was cold. Every stinking person's dinner had something stone cold on it. Hmmmm. So, at that point we were getting a bit fractious as we were hungry. I told them I wasn't hungry anymore. Anyhow - we got the whole meal for free....I should say so. As I say, it was the best worst night out, ever!
