WE GAVE UP!

It has been raining for a few days. Yesterday was the bank holiday and I took Jeff and the kids over to the Family History Center to learn how to do indexing. We were there for a few hours and then we decided to go to lunch. We had the most incredible bad luck. First, remember it was raining like crazy, so we decide to walk (Jeff's idea) to a restaurant in Fulham. We walk and walk and can't find it so we get into a taxi and he can't find it so we get out and walk some more. Finally, we are freezing cold and wet and we decide to go back to our house and go to a restaurant there. We get all the way back, Andrea's begging to go home, and we get to the restaurant and there is a line out the door. Decide we can't wait so we go next door to a little pub and wait for a table. Finally, we get a table, sit down, take off our coats and go to order something and they said, "Sorry, we don't have enough staff to make food!" Why couldn't they tell us that in the first place? So we go to another place, go in, sit down, take off our coats, take 10 minutes to decide what to eat go to order and THEY aren't taking orders because they are closing in 20 minutes!!! I'm ready to scream. So then we go home and it is still raining and there is NOTHING in the house to eat except for this cake that I made the day before which I'm perfectly happy to eat but Jeff is getting a little irritated - HE WANTS FOOD. I DON'T want to cook. I figure I should get the day off - it was a holiday after all. We then try to order take-out and take 30 minutes to decide what, where and when and when we call we find out that they don't deliver to our area. Finally, Jeff just went to Sainsbury's and bought a couple of pizzas. AND we try a new lemon sorbet recipe which was fantastic. In the end we had to laugh - after we were dry and our stomachs were satiated that is...

I do have a cute pic of Andrea looking suspiciously like a little duck that I will post tomorrow. I have to get ready for my last seminary class today - which I am thrilled about by the way.
