No chance of getting served by him though. Whenever we go there he stays as far away from us as possible. Generally he works behind the bar, making up drinks, making coffees, and organising the bills.
This year the restaurant had a 4-course dinner menu. And of course we ate too much. I went for a walk after the first 3 courses to get some fresh air and help the food go down. Karyn and her mother stayed behind and made sure that the wine had no chance of evaporating.
We went home before midnight because Karyn's mother was yawning so much that she couldn't talk. In hindsight, we should have stayed longer.Matthew arranged to get a lift home, which was great, I thought. Until I realised that Matthew didn't have any keys with him so I would have to stay up anyway and let him in. I had to play Farcry for hours just to stay awake.
He finally got home at about 2:15AM. He then decided that he was hungry and so made a meal out of the food that Karyn brought home from the restaurant because she couldn't eat it as she was too full. It was actually her main course (course #3 of 4). I think that he actually went to bed at around 4AM after playing some more World of Warcraft.
The next day we had a BBQ'd leg of lamb with roast vegetables. It was a great meal, but my undoing was a bucket of pina colada mix that Karyn made that had half a bottle of white rum in it. The mix was put into the freezer until it became slushy. It was so easy to drink a person could lose track of how much that had actually drunk. I think that we all had a sleep that afternoon except Matt who was doing something vital in World of Warcraft.
Here is a picture of Karyn wearing one of the silk tops that I got her in India. It's the first time that she's worn one, so I guess she may have troubles coping with my superior sense of style and fashion.
