Out for a posh dinner!

(backposting) As far as we can remember, we've only been out twice together since Jo was born. This, we realise, is pathetic, and so when Si and D suggested we go out for dinner, we resolved to make it happen. Carolyn started at 1000, as she was going to be baby-sitting into the evening, and by the evening, we were really looking forward to it: I'd even booked a taxi.

Around 1800, Moo and I head upstairs to get changed, and by 1825 we're done, so Carolyn takes Jo upstairs for a bath and bed. She didn't seem to want a long bath, so after a quick one, Carolyn put her down. And it took about 30 seconds. We don't know how she does it, but on being given a kiss night-night and being put down in her cot, Jo just settles. So, after 50+ minutes last night, it took (it felt, at least) less than 1 tonight. Grrr. Not that we're bitter, oh no.

Taxi didn't arrive on time, and when I phoned 5 minutes later, it appeared that they'd not made the booking after all, so we arrived a little late, but only about 10 seconds after the Plants, so no problem. We had a fantastic meal at Chimneys in Long Melford. It was very quiet (well, it was a Tuesday), with only 5 other diners, and we had a great time. Talked about all the usual, and had a blast. They're excellent friends, and it's really good to see them.
