Thanks, everyone - and Happy Anniversary, Maggie!
We've just got back from our meal out - it was a bit of a disaster, actually! We'd intended to go down the road to a Nepalese cafe/restaurant which has rather more unusual food than the normal Indian cuisine. We had arranged to meet our friends there, but when we arrived it was closed

- no indication as to why.
We waited for what seemed like ages, then one friend turned up - he had arrived early, seen that it was closed and hared off to our house to tell us - missing us by about 5 minutes - and then returned. Shortly afterwards our other friend arrived at last. In the meantime we had decided to try a Turkish place that none of us had been to previously. We arrived there only to be told that it was closing early and they weren't doing any more meals. So we thought we'd try the local Thai, even though it is a bit expensive - and guess what - that was closed till the 26th! So out of desperation and hunger we ended up at the Chinese buffet place which we don't really rate very highly

Still, I had a nice day on the whole, and it was good to see the pupils again after the break
