Now son is older husband and I have vowed to get out more. We have agreed to start by trying all the places to eat near us. We always drive elsewhere. Madness, but mainly because we have always gone out for lunch because babysitters where we are cost £25 per hour!!!!
On Friday we had supper at the same place we went for lunch last week - Elate. In the evening they do tapas. Son had optional invitation which he accepted. The food was yum there wasn't a disappointing dish on the table. Though as usual in UK tapas can get expensive.
We will definitely go back but we have other restaurants to try first.
Son was Great company as as well. It was a very pleasant evening. Also nice to walk home to walk off some of what we'd eaten.
The rest of the weekend was preparing for this week. I have training this week and am away from home for a whole week. The longest I have been on my own since Son was born 15 years ago.
Dress code was ambiguous. Simply no uniform. What does that mean? Should I wear jeans, a cocktail dress, business casual? No idea.
Not helped by the fact that I work from home so wear smart on top and joggers on the bottom.
So I am currently wearing smart but not suit. But I ended up having to pack for every eventuality. A weeks worth. My suitcase was huge.
I set off on Sunday at about 17:30. So what with packing and driving it pretty much chewed up the weekend.
Though one friend joined us on Saturday. Our regulars didn't come because one of them has COVID. Yup it's still around.
I had my flu jab last week. At Asda!!! Very strange but free parking. Yay.
The hotel I am staying at looks super posh doesn't it (see picture). It is smoke and mirrors. It's in the middle of a science park. I am feaking out because the food is terrible and I will end up putting on a stone if I eat here every day.
Last night I checked Deliveroo but the only things on offer were pizza and burgers. But I did find a co-op about 10 mins drive away. I will go there tomorrow and buy something like cold meat. Its going to be an odd week of food I think.
So why am I kicking myself. I was so focussed on clothes for training I forgot the following. Hairbrush, comfortable shoes, gym gear, swimming costume. So despite the fact there is a full spa I am about to go for a long walk through a science park. The only exercise open to me this week.
What an idiot I am!
