Steak and wine, feeling fine!

So today I fell off the good behaviour wagon, badly!

            The actual day at work had been perfectly well behaved – all veggies and water, but by the time I made it out of the office in the evening to meet up with Mike and Tilly, the best intentions were well and truly finished for the day.

            I arrived at the brand new restaurant called Fyr (like ‘fire’) where all food is cooked in their wood-burning oven, and all their drinks are either wine or beer. My good intentions for sticking with low calorie drinks very quickly went out of the window the minute I arrived to find that Mike had decided to leave work a few hours early, and was already working his way through a very sweet bottle of wine. I figured that if I was going to have one day off this week, this would have to be it, and so I just decided to join in.

Floral shirt and green trouser combo tonight

We hadn’t seen Mike and Tilly in months, having to cancel our most recent plans for work and travel, so it was the first time that we had caught up in 2015. Mike took the meeting seriously, and as such his wardrobe was one step more impressive than normal. He always goes for coloured trousers, but today he had combined green trousers with a very floral shirt. It was both bold and a bit of a shocker, but still, it’s always good to see him!

            Over the next few hours Tilly and Nick finished work and came to join us, and as we sat catching up a number of friends also wandered past the restaurant and stopped in for a couple of drinks on route to their evening plans. By around 9pm it was just us left, and so we then got involved in the amazing steaks and delicious mash potatoes.

            It wasn’t healthy, and it certainly wasn’t on plan, but it was delicious, and sometimes that’s all that really matters!
