Last night, as mentioned in yesterday's blog, the vWs went to our local Italian restaurant - Bosco Verde.
We all had a great time - the restaurant is pretty unfussy re decor but has great meals - and none of us had pizza!
Here's the thing - when the time came to pay for the meal, the waitress informed me that someone had phoned and paid for our meal in advance - there was nothing to pay!
So I went back and asked the others if they wanted desserts...
But we were either too satiated or too tired!
I joked that we could advertise a restaurant each night and a different anonymous friend could pay...
But seriously, whoever the magic pixie(s) was/were who picked up last night's tab, thank you heaps for this wonderful act of generosity!
Very special indeed!
Today the wasp man came to blitz our deck wasps but they mysteriously all disappeared!
Spent time talking to insurance companies/kiwisaver and preparing for the psalms concert.
Off to the Hofmanns tonight (minus Ollie and Matthew) for a meal and movie night.
Much love,
Gerald.

ReplyDeletePixie(s) Me thinks you should share your intended "Restaurant-scapades" call it a Geraldathon. There's the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhere would you like to go next?
Dear Pixie(s), you are amazing! I do not want to take your "magical" generosity for granted. Would you be happy for me to discuss with Lois our dining-out thoughts, and get back to you thru the blog? Would you mind replying on the most recent blog, as the older ones don't get looked at quite so much? With high regards and appreciation! Gerald.

ReplyDeletepixy - a supernatural being akin to a fairy or an elf.

That's a non-Tolkien elf, BTW. And I think "pixie" is the singular.
