Quote:Andrew, I took her to those eateries and she was a little astounded that the ââ¬Ëfront houseââ¬â¢ waiters are outside trying to hook you in to their restaurants...Hiya Karen,
Sounds bad, they've been doing that in Europe for many years now. Some traits are best kept where they originated I think. That would be quite embarassing for some people to be 'pulled' or 'coaxed' into sitting down to eat where they normally wouldn't. Last time I was there I do recall waiters waiting outside some of those places and trying that on me, though I never thought much of it as I walked passed them and went to the place I wanted to go. Thinking about it now I would say that this is a good indication as to which places NOT to eat at. The places I go to have no such frills inside or outside. Their food speaks for itself and they don't need to excercise such underhanded methods. But I can understand why you'd be alarmed by it - not nice.
Quote:...and yes I am feeding her well food is the core of my house, no one ever leaves my house hungry, I can tell you many funny stories about people, my house and food and the odd times that the kitchen has been pumping. We have eaten out more regularly the past few weeks I must say. Kaz is like part of the family, I love having her around, and everyone adores her.Good one Karen, I'm glad to see you like her, it means you no doubt have made another good friend. But don't get me wrong... what I say about feeding her etc is just a joke. As I've said so often in the past... its a pity we can't see the person expressing themsleves on forums as we can in the flesh. What is so often meant as a joke can be taken in the wrong light. But that's just an inherant limitation with communicating via keyboard, and doing it fast. Not to say that you have misunderstood me, but just in case. I'm too humble for that kind of thing Karen, if you know what I mean. A person's worth can never be measured by the size of their pocket or the wealth of their house. I know we both understand that clearly.
Quote:Lucky for me Andrew, she does not like clubs, pubs or shopping, because I also do not like those things, I only shop for purpose it actually gives me a headache! She loves outdoor stuff, nature and everyday things so that has been an easy request to fulfill because we live up the bush!You both sound like good homely people Karen. I gave up going out nighting long ago. Nowadays, if I do it, I do so only as a result of being dragged out to it by others... and even that I would not allow happen more often than once every few months. Resturants and eat-outs are the main thing I go to nowadays, not nightclubs and the like.
Good to hear you like Kaz so much. I hope she's decided to organise to come and stay here permanentlly sometime in the very near future because if she can get a foothold here then it would make it even easier for Rick and DT to follow suit... no?:)
C'mon Rick, we have so many fish we need to catch up on, and so many things we need to do. I'm still waiting for you mate.icon_knuddel
