Hobbies and meals I've just come back from having a meal with my family for my stepdads birthday, today. It should have been me, mt parents, both of my sisters and her boyfriend. The sister I live with didn't come in the end, her hot flushes and sweating (from the tablets) and her stomach and back pains prevented her from joining us. She also wasn't having a good time getting ready for the meal and ended up getting stressed and swearing lots. It might have been better that she didn't come. The actual evening wasn't too bad. Better than I thought, whether that was to do with my other sister not being there, I don't know. It was the actual meal that was disappointing. Becfause I'm not adventurous with my food I ordered the same as usual. A portion f chips for a starter, scampi and chips for my main course and profiteroles for my dessert. Normally I enjoy this, but this evening was runed a bit by the food. First off, although we had stated I wanted the portion of chips as a starter they didn't arrive and had to be asked for as everyone else was nearing the end of their own food. The chips were warm going on cold. Then when everyone had received their main courses we realised they had no intention of brining mine out, we asked for it and was told it would be cooked at that point and I was to wait for it to arrive. When I finally did get it everyone had once again nearly cleared their plates. The food was also so hot I coldn't eat half of it because my mouth was so burnt. Problems also occured with my parents food too. My sister complained. And we got free desserts. Yay! So my profitroles were he best thing from the whole meal. They actually arrived first and tasted delicious. Evenually the whole meal for five people cost under £40 including drinks. We'd not only got the free desserts but we also had an extra discount too. Whether we go back there or not, I don't know. It was the same place we went for my 21st birthday in September and everything was fantastic then, perhaps it was just the odd evening and it would be better next time. don't know. I also saw whilst at the restaurnt a boy I went to school with. In fact I had a crush on him when I sat next to him in my Science classes and had it not been for him I probably would have failed. He'd taken his girlfriend out. Nice to know some relationships have these outings. Sometimes I wish mine was more like that, just you know, the odd meal out alone with my boyfriend etc. Then again it would be hard to find somewhere I can actally eat at because I'm picky with my food. Maybe next year. This morning my mother had been gossiping with the next door neighbour, Bridget, Emily's mum. Apparently Emily shall be going to York University if she gets the right results from her exams. Her brother, Stephen, is also looking to move out and get a house wth his girlfriend soon. This makes me jealous because I can't ever see me living with Mark. What happens if his uncle lives forever, say another 20 years, me and Mark are going to be 40 and nearly 50 years old. Are we still going to be living with our parents then? It's something that we may have to talk abou in the future, and doubt it will cause arguements. Anyway, back to next door. When they've all disappeared who am I going to spend my days watching? I'll have to get a new hobby. |
