The longest journey begins with the first step..........

This is Saturdays blog and because I used up a lot of time yesterday talking about time I thought I'd use today's blog to report on Friday's activity. ( I've just this minute removed my shoes because for some reason I can't think too well if my feet are restricted, I have no idea why this should be so but there you go.) Fridays' daylight hours were a little on the quiet side but Friday evening I went out for a meal with my wife, my youngest daughter and her significant other. I would actually like to see a bit more of my eldest daughter but she lives about a ninety minute drive away down by the coast and as a consequence we see less of each other than I'd like. I think it's important that families should eat together as often as possible even if the logistics are difficult because family ties help to anchor us emotionally and socially. Our depleted family meal took place in the Italian restaurant at the end of our road amidst a fair amount of friendly banter from the two youngish Italian lads who own the place. I know the French have a great and noble cuisine and other countries can claim epicurean masterpieces of their own but for the consistently best all round eating experience no one, in my opinion, comes close to the Italians.

My deed for Saturday was to catch up on my blogging (something I'm doing a lot of lately) my human contact was with my wife and my thoughts were on family matters.
