To Mark...it's his birthday today :) He's working night's tonight though...we went out last night instead to celebrate :)
We went to a nice little restaurant. I had leek and fennel soup to start (it was delicious!) and Mark had prawns. Then we both had roasted duck breast with blueberry sauce, saute potatoes, green beans and butternut squash puree...yum! Mark was too full for pudding but I had chocolate parfait with chocolate 'creme'....it was all yummy. They had a little dog there so we made a fuss of her :) She's a Jack Russell and her name is Doris Day! lol
Then we went to the casino. It was the first time I had ever been to a casino. I actually found it kinda boring...I'm not much of a gambler. All the tables were full so we went on the slot machines. I won £10 but Mark put it all back in!
Jan asked me about the story in my mini book from my last entry...here's what it says...
They met on a bus returning home. Grampy walked nan home. They only lived round the corner from each other and didn't even realise! Grampy asked Nan out but she couldnt see him for three weeks due to 'prior engagements'! Grampy has previously been going out with Nan's neighbour. Nan had been seeing various others and was writing to a Scottish man up in Blackpool.
After 'courting' for several months, Grampy was fed up of Nan writing to this other man. While on the bus he said, 'Either we finish and you go with him or stay here and marry me'. That was how he proposed and they were married six months later! Over 50 years on they are still happy together. Even though no-one thought Grampy would ever get married!
So...it was all about the buses! lol
