Wasn't the weather lovely yesterday. Beautifully sunny and definitely warmer, even out of the sun. The big event yesterday was the reason I didn't post this yesterday.
Beth, her friend, Carlin, Alex and I had dinner at the Giggling Squid. It's been a long time a-coming. Carlin promised to take us out for a meal a year ago as a sort of 'thank you' for helping get a hall ready for his Mum's funeral wake while Beth said she wanted to take me and Alex out for a birthday meal. The year passed and now and again it was mentioned but Beth and Carlin in particular are very busy people nowadays.

Anyway, last night was the night. I've heard a lot about the place from Beth who really loves going there so I was really looking forward to it and I was not disappointed, not at all. We had a really lovely time - great food and good company. And, for me, no bill. What more could a girl want, eh.
We had some prawn crackers to start with followed by spring rolls and a sweet chilli dipping sauce. My mains was sticky chicken and coconut rice and it was so, so delicious. And, bad me, I had the loveliest lychee martini too - I love lychee liqueur.
I was so tired when I got home that I decided to leave this until this morning.
The sun is shining again and I so hope it remains this way tomorrow too, seeing as it is Bank Holiday Monday.
Have a lovely Sunday, everyone, and enjoy the gorgeous weather. xx
You don't have to blog every single day you know, we don't expect it! ;-) Sounds like you had a wonderful time, I can't remember the last time we ate in a Chinese restaurant. And if you can't have a lychee martini (never heard of that!) for your birthday, when can you? xx
