We looked right ones
My Hub came in from London and during transit, he asked by
mobile if I fancied going out for supper? I told him I had been a domestic Goddess
and culinary cuty and “Took a box of frozen chicken from the freezer?” Not sure
why, but he said,
“Oh let’s go out for supper! So teen was at the cinema, seeing
a horror so God help us over the next few days/nights? So we went out to our
local Thai restaurant. It was cold and dark…. Walked the walk. My little black
beauty does not like working in the dark and Hubs longchops said in her doggy
voice
“For Goodness sake, do you know I have worked in London all
day?” So I can’t say they were keen, but I was looking forward to my salt and
pepper mushrooms and rice. “Oh yes! I know how to dine? Haha.
Well I got attacked by that rotten branch at the bottom of
our street and walked through a puddle, but we found it with ease, well, we thought? As we
walked into the restaurant, we stood, feeling rather red and walked out
quickly, as we had walked into a storage room or some kind of building? We
turned to each other bemused as we were sure that was the right place? So we
turned and went back again. From the sawdust smells which met us at the door,
to the bare floor, we knew it was the wrong place. It was like being in a parallel
world. Walking back in time. We knew
that was the place we knew that route so well, but the carpets were missing,
and plants we carefully try not to knock over were gone. Replaced with emptiness
and echoes.
A man shouted to us,
“Can I help you love? I told him I was looking for the Thai
restaurant. He replied
“Oh yes, this is it, we are refurnishing it.” “Oh!
So out we came stood, looking at each other and I said I
would just cook supper, Husband “No, I really can not be bothered with a full meal
at this time of night. Me
“Well the only place
left is the Pizza shop. We had never
been in there before, but got in
ok and stood for ages, thinking we were at the counter but it was so high that
they would not see the guide dogs as they were too low. So if we were at the
wrong place, we would be stood there for a long time.
Then we were asked if we would like to place an order? “Few?
Well ten minutes later our Pizzas were handed to us. Oh my
word? They were in huge boxes. We struggled with the dogs harness and our
boxes all the way home. I felt and sure
I looked like a tea pot, as I curled my arm under the box at my side. My arm
was dropping off by the time I got back, but they tasted delicious. On our
way home though I told my Hub I felt a right Charlie we must have looked so
daft? He said, he was not bothered as it
was dark? I said dark means nothing to the sighted and there were street and
car lights to aluminate us. I’m not kidding, the boxes were enormous?
Well teen got back safely, though slightly terrified and
told me some really funny stories about his night that made us laugh and we
watched a great drama on the telly. All in a day. X
