Day 40 - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Well here we are!, 40 Lenten days into the Blogging campaign, and all continues to be well - hurrah for repeal! Thankfully, Alli and Cheryl from Guernsey were in town today, so I brought them out for lunch - otherwise, today would have been entirely remarkable. I chose Malaysian riverside cuisinerie Swai as the luncheon venue, and thankfully it didn't disappoint. Even though we were on the expenses gravy train, our total bill (for 3 people) amounted to €40 including  generous tip! My chicken tom yum soup was delectably spicy, containing many real chillis, and whilst Cheryl baulked at hers at first, she recovered admirably and polished it off with aplomb. For mains, it was Chicken Kung Po, with giant portions of rice, chicken, fresh vegetables, and lush spicy sauce. Bleedin' d'lish! Conversation was lively and the riverside walk back to work was merely marred by the fact that Sealey, the squealy seal wasn't upon hand at the foot of the pedestrian bridge  to provide the wow factor to our Guernsarian guests.

Yet another trip to the cinema was meditated upon but was ultimately rejected, resulting in an early arrival back at the Lighthouse, and an evening of delightful relaxation.


Swai not try it if you're in the area?!
