I drove over to Market Harborough to my fave Chinese restaurant ‘Han’ tonight. It’s the normal three-monthly catch-up with Ian and Mags. This time Alan, Ian’s friend came too, as he’s supporting Ian on his sponsored bike-ride from Land’s End-to-John-O’Groats this week and next.
The table was booked for 7.30 and as usual, I was there early! – closely followed by Mags who’d seen me get out of the car in the same car-park as her.
Mags and I, on the stroke of 7.30, made our way to the table as we were starving – a few minutes later, Ian and Alan arrived. We acted decisively and chose the Han Banquet, one of those options that offers almost ‘one-of-everything-that’s-Chinese’.
The service was, as always, superb – Singwei, our waitress, remembered me from previous visits (but was slightly confused because I entered with Mags and she thought I had ‘changed my wife’!)
Ian and Alan brought Mags and I up-to-speed on Ian’s sponsored bike-ride. He’s covered about a third of his thousand miles this week (!!!!!) and with around three weeks left, he’s picking-up from where he left off today – Nottingham – on Monday.
What felt like 50 portions later, we were stuffed, but somehow managed to squeeze down teas and coffees, but just no room for desserts!!!
We left around 9.30 and I was home by 10. A great evening and good to hear that Ian’s ride is going to plan.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
