Priti and I had a delightful weekend which began on Friday in Birmingham...some shopping in the Bullring and lunch with my parents, Kieran and #1 daughter followed..at aforementioned daughter's request...by a visit to Morelli's Gelato...an ice cream parlour of some prestige in the food hall of Selfridges Store...off we went gleefully in anticipation of a nice Cornetto...maybe a 99...perhaps even ' a wee pokey-hat with strawberry sauce'...Morelli's was great, the ambience and decor were spot on...it was unfortunate however that we were unable to obtain a mortgage in sufficient time to allow the entire family to partake in their fangled frozen delights but it was good fun watching the kids tucking in...and vicariously decadent to watch Kieran consume an entire week's family allowance in several scoops of frozen water and some squirty cream..
Friday night we were let off the leash...Kieran safely cooped up at home with the old folk..but what to do..? where to go..?..wild partying and clubbing...aka.. getting legless and vomiting on the dance-floor... were all considered and quickly rejected and we settled on a quiet and tres romantique night at Kushboo ...an Indian restaurant of our aquaintance... It was in fact the location of our very first date on January 21st 1993, only then it was an Italian restaurant...of course, it has had a beautiful facelift since then..pity the same cannot be said for me but c'est la vie...every wrinkle tells a story..most of them horrific.
Beautiful lady..brillant food...and still only Friday!
Come Saturday and more shopping...this time in Coventry and a nice lunch with daughter #2 at Etna...Italian..pizza, Canalloni and Spaghetti Marinara the order of the day..followed by a trip to brother in Daventry to deposit parents..sportywise..all the footie results were positive and in accordance with my preferences although Scotland did get humped by the Irish at Rugby which is always painful...but at least it wasn't the English who inflicted the pain..that particular anguish is yet to come...house was quiet with mum and dad gone but ideal for glass of wine and bit of romance..
Sunday saw Chelsea lose the Carling Cup Final...whilst we were in transit collecting mum and dad from Daventry for a lovely night in...excellent weekend...
note to self - parents not allowed to return to Paisley under any circumstances
