Ladies Wot Lunch

A bit of a lay in bed today, which is nice, but it's not too long before I'm up and about and getting ready to entertain some lady friends who are coming up from the big smoke to see me today.

The first thing I have to do is go to the supermarket and get provisions in so that I can cook lunch for my visitors. I've decided on a well favoured recipe that always seems to go down well, which is American Chicken Pie (layers of broccoli and chicken topped off with a slightly curried sauce with cheese and breadcrumbs on top) and as a tried, tested and approved dish of my friends I figure I can't really go wrong. I get some fresh bread and some salad to go with it too, which seems to be the best combination.

When we get back from the supermarket I get a phone message saying that my guests are already here, but have gone to do a bit of shopping since I was out when they called at the house, which is no problem at all since it means I've got plenty of time to cook lunch, or at least get it prepared as much as possible so all that needs doing is for it to go into the oven to finish it off about 40 mins before everyone is ready to eat.

The ladies arrive at about 1.30 and after a good old natter and catch up (assisted by the eating of some lovely banana and walnut muffins that arrived with my guests, and some super biscuits too) we settle down and have some the lunch that I'd prepared, and it was very nice.

After lunch the conversation some how ends up on the topic of sports cars and how one of my friends could quite fancy herself driving around in a convertible, so I volunteer Phil to take her out for a spin in his motor so she could get the feel of it and the handling too - I guess the fact that she comes back from the test drive quite exhilarated is a good indicator that she enjoyed herself!

It's not long after that the ladies leave to head off back to London, and we then spend the evening unwinding - Phil has got the day off tomorrow so he takes much pleasure in relaxing slightly more than me since I'm in the office for 9am to help with the excess of work we seem to have accumulated.
