Friends!

Today we met up for lunch with Reiner and Lilly friends of over twenty-five years hailing from Hanover. Graham and moi last saw them eleven years ago, Layla more like twenty! I met them at the station and then we went to the restaurant we had booked. Layla and Bella arrived soon after and Reiner and Lilly were delighted to see them as was Layla. Bella as is her want with new people took her time, loved the Paddinton Bear book they bought her though.
Sadly lunch was a disaster we were chatting a while then we ordered, then I noticed people who had ordered after us were being served! Three times I asked the waitress where our food was just coming I was told. Meantime Graham arrived he thought we had eaten and finished and only ordered a coffee. this was well over an hour after ordering!
Then the ? manager came over and offered us drinks on the house our order had not been processed! we refused and said just bring on the food! Eventually it arrived only to find Layla's mussels were old and stale, we could only complain as by now our lunch was on the house! It looked a good venue we will not be going back!
Lovely to see our friends again hopefully we may get over to Hanover in the not too distant future.
Reiner and Lilly met the Wonder Dog and thought he was great.
Back home made bread and pizzas, had to throw my first pizza dough away must have been dreaming and put too much liquid in!
Watched Hitler: The Rise Of Evil on Channel 4 must remember and watch the conclusion next Saturday. Bye.
