Every few years or so, I do like to pamper Lo, she is a terrible Goddess and take her out for a memorable meal.
The day before yesterday I drove her up a mountain to try and find a special restaurant with lovely views and a romantic atmosphere. It took quite some time to find a suitable establishment. Obviously an expensive place that would fit the bill would just be too easy to find. I like to make an effort for a special occasion.
After several hours of extensive research, driving round hairpin bends and getting a tad disorientated and just at the point when the TG was about to faint, I found the perfect spot.
We enjoyed a slap-up meal of one course, accompanied by some real Coca Cola Light followed by delicious coffee made with genuine UHT milk. All for less than €20!
The atmosphere of eating right on a main road with a lovely view of a shed roof (real roof tiles!!) was greatly enhanced by extremely friendly wasps and flies. The icing on the cake arrived in the form of a gas delivery truck with a very noisy broken exhaust and clouds of fumes.
I believe I’m in good odour at the moment although it’s a bit difficult to tell as the TG has hardly said a word since.

quite surprised she didn’t load you onto the gas truck and send you on your way…
But but but …. it was delightful … and cheap.
You romantic devil. Does she realize what a gem she has in her hands?
The magic is just as strong as it used to be – perhaps even darker.
Surely LotG is wise enough to know you do not control the timetable for gas delivery trucks. As a Goddess she should have contacted Squat and her relations and arranged for a nice breeze to keep the insectivora away and a traffic jam down the mountain to delay the truck’s arrival until you had finished your repast. Squat is always happy to help out, or at least so I have found.
She always maintains that I provide enough wind to blow away the smell of gas … or should that be round the other way? … oh dear I’m confused now ….
It sounds like a delightful excursion. Goddesses can be very hard to please.
I spoil her of course but she is worth it.
Memorable indeed. I bet she remembers this for a long time and will mention it every now and then.
Funny you should say that … it’s been mentioned several times already … *sigh*
