turpsWell, it's February, which means the first birthday cluster of the year is coming up soon, though the cluster is smaller now with only 3 within about 9 days, whereas before nanna and grandad died it was 5, with Valentine's day right in the middle of that.
But yeah, I know that a lot of people don't like Feb, but for me it's when the kidlet was born, so it's a great month.
We went to a Mexican fusion restaurant last night. It's opposite the theatre so is perfectly placed, and was a really cool place. But I do think their scale of what's hot or not is a bit skewed. James really can't take much spice, but was reassured that the tacos were mild, and they really weren't. They were delicious, but in no way were they mild. I had the chicken taco and James tried some seafood ones, including a soft shell crab, which looked really weird but he said was delicious.
Then we ended up at the theatre far too early as we thought it was a half seven start when in reality it started at eight. But we hung in the bar for a while and took some photos in the bed prop -- they're on my insta if you're interested, and eventually could go to our seats. We were in the stalls, aisle centre and had a great view, and I will never get over not having to worry about sitting next to a stranger and spilling into their space. I mean, it's not the roomiest of places but I still had room to move and get up and do the time warp with the rest of the audience.
It's been snowing on and off since last night and as usual, the roads are in chaos. This morning the little road that goes past my town was even mentioned on the national breakfast news because cars were getting stuck on the cut. It happens every year and you'd think the gritters and ploughs would be out before the first cars get stuck and block the road completely, but nope.
I got a comment from the person I wrote my Musketeers fandom stocking for. So that means I've had responses for them all and I can officially class FS as done and a success. Now bring on the next challenge.

Date: 2019-02-02 10:33 am (UTC)January always seems to last forever, then February rushes past. Time really is funny like that.
I suspect that for someone used to hot food those dishes probably seemed very mild
Yeah, I think so too. They said they were going for the authentic Mexican tastes, and they have to be different to the spices used in chain restaurants. The food was still really tasty, I'm just glad we asked for mild.
It's still snowing here now. Everything looks so pretty with a few inches of snow and as it's still the soft, crunchy kind it's okay getting around, too. I enjoy this kind of snow when they've got the roads moving and you can walk without worrying about ice. However, it's supposed to be the coldest night for a long time tonight, so hope it doesn't ice over. But I know it could be much worse, some of the weather in the US atm is insane.
Thank you! This last recipient reply took a while to come in so I'm relieved it finally landed.
