So lovely.

This week, on a cold and rainy night, my fab friend Danielle and I made plans to try a new restaurant in town for dinner...

A timely excuse for a wine, pasta, and Christmas catch up!

I was - shock, horror - running late, and Miss D was patiently waiting for me when I arrived. As I sat down all flustered and in dire need of something liquid, the waitress rushed over and asked me if I would like a glass of chardonnay.

"Um, well, yes I would!" I said, puzzled by her apparent knowledge of my taste in wines - and, as we all know, chardonnay isn't exactly trendy. It pales in coolness comparison to a sav blanc.

Darn you sav blanc for being so effortlessly chic while chardy suffers in in the cheap seats!

Anyhoo, as it turned out, my darling boyfriend B had noticed I had been a bit stressed with work overload this week, so he dropped into the restaurant on his way home and bought us girls two glasses of wine in advance, and had obviously told them what I would order.

SO cute - thank you B! x
