Up late...FBG. 6.3
beautiful day yesterday with my Lauren of arabia.
Out for a walk in the sunshine, intending to find some where nice to eat, undecided on chinese, indian, thai or vietnamese.
met a few friends while out, so a nice old catch up before parting.
Lauren suggested a celebratory drink for the good scores, so it seemed rude to refuse.
She had tonic water and ice, i went for the good old paddy stand-by a Guinness.
(can't drink one without a nod to my dad, his favourite tipple.)
so pleasantly sat in the sunshine drinking the one drink, enjoying the company and chat.
Ambled off and after some mooching over a few restaurants decided on vietnamese..
New waiting staff it seemed, a little clueless, but friendly and it just added to the charm.
Owner nice right on the ball and interceded when i started asking about the beer selection.
Got into a nice conversation about the vietnamese beers on offer.
mentioned we were considering going next year..(been on the list for ages, ( Hoi an, if anyones been ?)
Lauren the food queen did the ordering, so we got pancakes, spring rolls and a prawn Phu soup, and Grilled fish with chilli soup for her.
Gratuitous Insta pics for those curious.

Like the other cuisines, but for me the Vietnamese is just a touch lighter with way more delicate flavours.
a pleasant stroll home, stopping of to get a few bits for the fridge and we were all good..
not sure of bloods pre meal, but heading out i was at 5.9
and once home, consider it around 2 hours after i started eating i was 7.1
beers (2) and foreign food.(noodles, pancake and spring roll batter:***:...) that seemed a decent score.
Both slightly pooped after all the fresh air, so sat down meaning to watch a film and both fell asleep on the couch..
Best wishes for a good day, all.
