Hospital Date

Despite being a four-day week in the UK after a public holiday on Monday, it's felt like a long one. cosmolinguist didn't have any firm plans for this evening but I was thinking about going to a local foodie market, and he was thinking about going down the pub.

My girlfriend has been back in hospital and was told she'd be discharged about 5pm with a bunch of equipment, so I went to fetch her and took E along to help carry stuff. Hours ticked by with no discharge letter and no medication, and by 7 we were getting hungry. So we went out to dinner at Wok and Roll, a basic looking but tasty Chinese place near the hospital, where I had a gorgeous minced pork and aubergine casserole. After that we went to Big Hands next door so I could show the covered roof terrace to E. So we ended up having dinner and a drink together after all. Not quite what we had planned, but it was still lovely!

There was more hospital faffing after that, but it was still nice to spend some time together.
