some vork at new arse
left late because of a smell of gas
(none of us responsible for it)
almost comedic difficulty getting home to old arse swiftly, heading out for late surprise birthday dinner
lady lucy HATES being rushed but had to be: changing into something less building site chic
endfured a frustrating 8 mile stretch stuck behind 8 cars that wouldn't overtake the tractor going 25mph, who himself wouldnt pull over to let the every increasing queue pass by
lucy got ready in 7 mins
a new personal record and proof it can be done
further have-to-laugh-or-you'll-cry difficulty getting to dinner on time including waze having an ai halucination and sending us in the most obscure route to where we were going which included a closed road we had to double back on and another slow AF driver just daudling along obliviously
FORTUNATELY dinner and the evening was delightful
had THE best food we've eaten in ages and enjoyed the moment with the lady i most enjoy spending time with...
lucy relieved we weren't going to a surprise immersive dining experience at port lympne
was worth the effort and rush
