I was out again a couple of hours later, as my nephew, AyJy, turned 18 on Monday. So me, my parents, my brother, Chris, his wife, Sharon, AyJy and his friend, Jake, all went to The Railway for a meal. The place had a nice atmosphere, more of an informal restaurant than a pub. The food was good, with very generous portions. I had a half crispy duck with pancakes, shredded veg and hoi sin sauce, followed by lemon ice cream cake. I sat next to Chris and it was nice to have time to sit and chat with my brother. We are going over to their house on Xmas day as usual. Chris hadn't decided which meat to cook, so I asked if we could have the mutton, as I've not tried that, and would like to.
Pottered about Wymondham this afternoon. Got a jumper and a couple of books, including Oliver Postgate's autobiography, picked up in a charity shop fo £1.50. That should be interesting.
Norwich tomorrow, and while there will pick up my Xmas presents from Mum amd Dad, which I've chosen myself and reserved online at Argos.
The cats have been packed off to stay with Chris in Walkley. Diesel has been there three times before, and wandered around looking a home right away. Iella cowered in the back of her cat box, so we left her there to come out in her own time. I suspect that when she did, she immediately went into hiding. I wonder if she's come out yet ?
