For Pete’s Sake

So yesterday I turned 25, a poigniant age I’m told, another year for me. It passed in a rather understated manner especially compared to the party Cati arranged last year. Even so it was spent in good company with good food.

A few friends and I went to a pub in nearby Tockington. Cati intoduced/ found it and the atmosphere is nice food is good and relatively cheap. I ordered bangers & mash and for the 4th time running it came a little different. It seems each time I order it it comes with or without something. First time it was just as on the menu, second time it came with peas, then with peas and onions and last night no peas just onions. Least to say it’s interesting to see what I get each time!

Last night also saw United beat Celtic 3-0 which is good though a shame I didn’t see anything of the game. Keeping on sport I’m off to Wembley this weekend to see the 2nd ever NFL game to be played outside the US (I was at the inaugural one too). Should be good as both teams lost last week so should be a game with two teams giving everything to win.

So there we go, got some lovely birthday wishes and gifts. An enjoyable evening celebrating it and things to look forward to; onward!

So I tried sushi this week, once at home after buying some from Asda which was okay but last night was cracking. I went with some friends to Yo!Sushi in Cabot’s Circus in Bristol. It was an interesting place. All the food on the belts, personal buttons for your table for service and good food. I’m still not crazy on the rice which is the sushi (the raw meat is sushimi iirc). I think it’s mainly down to the vinegar to make it stick. I never really liked vinegar at all, I can eat a little bit but not much. I may get used to the taste but who knows. The sushami tho I loved particularly the salmon. I also enjoyed some of the cooked stuff like Chicken Katsu & Prawn Katsu really nice and sweet. Service was pretty damn good and for four of us the bill was less than £20pp.

In other news Cat & I have a photoshoot and the basketball this weekend so I’m a gonna be busy!
