A Day Out!

Today I had the day off work and headed out to meet my Mum at the bus station at half past ten. We got on the bus to Glasgow, which took about an hour and a quarter. When we got there we went along to Pizza Express for lunch. I had a Diavolo pizza which had the usual cheese and tomato but also spicy beef, pepperoni, hot green peppers and jalapeno peppers, with a dash of tabasco sauce. It was hot, but in a good way. Hot and spicy enough to give it a good kick but not enough so that it burnt the mouth. Afterwards I had a Chocolate Glory (which was vanilla ice-cream, with pieces of chocolate fudge cake and chocolate sauce) and a bottle of Peroni Nasturo beer. It was a really, really good meal.

Afterwards we split up and I had a look at the books in Borders. I got a book called Peep Show: Scripts and More by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, with a forward by the show's stars Robert Webb and David Mitchell. It contains the scripts for every episode of all five seasons of the show to date complete with extra funny stuff such as school reports, e-mails, work memos, playlists. Then my Mum and I went along to have a coffee and a scone, and caught the four o'clock bus home. I went to my parent's house for a bit and watched some TV and had a couple of cups of coffee and a glass of wine.

When I got back home I found out that my brother had sent me his share of the money for my Dad's Christmas present. It has been a good day.
