A Vast Improvement

Last night turned out far better than expected :) I made it to Yoga (which wasn't canceled by the Exercise God, who hates me). And in a mad rush showered, packed and headed the million miles to Varen's place (via Bloem, or so it seemed - but it was all in an attempt to bypass the crazy Jhb evening traffic, which I did ... so it was worth every extra km).

Then after a brief breather in my semi-comatose state (exhaustion from yoga) we headed off for another Tuesday dinner with the insta-group. I'm happy to say that this was a vast improvement on last week :) Perhaps it was because it wasn't the same onslaught of new people for me ... plus they'd already had a week to decide what they thought of me. Maybe it was just us all crammed into a smaller room that meant the conversation flowed far more easily, and there were some really interesting ones - let's just agree to disagree on Homeopathy vs. Western Medicine ;)

Oh, and the food was amazingly impressive. I must admit I was a little skeptical since we were promised fish but it turned out really well (especially since it was the first time the recipe had even been attempted by the chef!). The sisters had been trout fishing over the weekend and brought back some delightful specimens that they proceeded to bake and smoke for dinner.

So as you can see, I had a much better evening than I did with them last week :) And tonight we're seeing JofH & YogaCherryl for dinner and to ogle the ring!
