The weekend so far…
My brother came home last night and after I executed the fastest ever shower/image transformation from work to ‘dinner’ clothes, we (the small but complete Gilbert family) went out for dinner to celebrate Mrs Gilbert’s birthday, which was last Sunday. Well, knock me over with a dim sum dumpling, it was the most GORGEOUS meal I have had in a very very long time. (Possibly since the Indonesian in Amsterdam.) Started off beautifully with a won ton dumpling each (complimentary) which was just incredible. My brother and I shared a starter platter for two and my envious parents helped us out. Various dishes for the main and dessert for me was a Thai pancake with coconut icecream. Even that was utterly fantastic, and the white wine we had with the meal was yummy!
And where, I hear you cry, did this gastronical extravaganza take place? Well, shocking as it may be, it took place in High Wycombe, home of traditional handcrafted chairs, Wycombe Wanderers FC and a few suicide bombers.
The restaurant was called ‘Eat Thai’ and they have branches in London and Wycombe only it seems. Interesting choice of secondary location, but I’m not complaining. They are new here and I think they could possibly have replaced our usual celebratory occasion restaurant. They are a bit pricey, but we don’t go very often so I guess it’s okay :tongue:
Went shopping with my mum today, no joy whatsoever though… Wasn’t to be. Need cotton shirts for new job but just can’t seem to find any which are a good fit AND 100% cotton. Oh well, I’ve got a few days left!
Got a bikini, so I can offend the poor Burmese hotel staff with my hideous wibbly bits (Well, when it’s not tipping it down with rain during a thunderstorm). All that’s left to do now is sort my freight out for collection and go visit the cutest member of my family tomorrow evening, along with his parents 
Oh and one other thing which made me smile today - my mum bought me a ‘Hamptons’ suitcase-style box which I’ve wanted for absolutely ages… They’ve been selling them in Cancer Research and she gave it to me today… it’s the coolest thing ever I might even post a picture :kissing:
