We’ve come to York for Suzanne’s birthday! I’m sitting in our very nice room writing this post on a stolen wi-fi connection while Suzanne is listening to her iPod at a volume that would wake the dead.
Last night we went to a Chinese restaurant for a spot of tea and very nice it was too. What’s more the lovely ladies in the place found out it was Suzanne’s birthday and brought us a free dessert!
Now, I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because as you know I’m not, however it was all quite bizarre. They came out of the back singing happy birthday but when they got to the name bit they all stopped, one of them asked Suzanne what her name was and then all started up again.
The dessert itself was a banana fritter with a couple of wee blobs of ice cream (strawberry and vanilla, if you’re interested) and to top it off they stuck two birthday candles in the ice cream. This would all have worked had Suzanne liked banana fritters, still she bravely had a bit.
I’m not sure what we’re doing today but I’d guess it will involve vikings, trains and alcohol. I’m sure we’ll also have time to squeeze in a row!
