Today one of my old friends from way back came over to visit with her hubby. We're still in quite close touch but it's the first time they've met Munchkin and it was lovely to spend a day with them. We went over to our local Toby Carvery for lunch - isn't it fantastic that there's no smoking in these places anymore?
As always I ate far too much (my eyes are definitely bigger than my stomach, but I was brought up to finish what's on my plate...). Also my friend had a pudding that comes with a 'bottomless' jug of custard. Hurrah for that! Practically the only thing on the dessert menu that I can eat (what with it needing to be gluten free and all) is the custard, but you only get it with the (gluten containing) desserts. So we had an extra bowl and I was able to stuff myself even more with lots of lovely custard. mmmmmm...
Munchkin enjoyed the walk (almost a mile each way) in the sling on his dad, slept through most of lunch and had his lunch while I was on dessert. If the custard is thick enough you can eat it one handed without worrying about covering the baby with it... ;-)
