Shout me a drink
August 21, 2009
Last night we had dinner at the local pub. Ginger and Peta loved the beer garden and let me know in no uncertain terms that they would be having fish’n'chips.
I indulged in a wine. It was totally necesary once I read the description of the shiraz on the board (smells like the inside of a lady’s handbag; tastes like a man’s wallet). My meal of swordish was a bit salty with its bed of mash and olives so I wanted a glass of lime and soda to refresh the palate.
Ginger wanted to order me the drink at the bar. She and Peta excitedly made their way with babbo at hand. She practised her order “lime and soda, lime and soda, lime and soda….”
The bar staff asked for her order but she was very low comapred to the bar height and babbo had to raise her. She then propmpty requested a “slime and loda”. You should have some next time you order the fish meal.
