Life Has A Positive Gradient

LAST night I took Kat out for our first proper meal together (not a double date this time!). Suffice to say it went incredibly well!  We got all dressed up went to The Great Season, the chinese restaurant on the A6 and we talked and we ate for around 3 hours... there was a lot of talking and eating! Haha! We decided to start off with half a 'crispy aromatic' duck.. probably a bad idea as it turned out that was quite a lot... but we ate it all including the main courses we ordered consisting of sweet and sour chicken, egg fried rice and chicken with some sort of black bean sauce... I was way too full by the end of mine to try it but kat said it was pretty good XD There were lots of laughs at the chinese music and feeding each other prawn crackers... so cute! Then we shared a lemon filled with sorbet for desert!

SUCH a perfect night, spent staring at just what kind of beautiful and intelligent person I've got sat in front of me, smiling away as the nervousness of not knowing where she was going and our first night out together wore off. So excited and loving...

WHEN we got back we lay in the lounge and watched Pelham 123, a train heist thriller, with Vicky and Tony (parents XD) and eventually retired to bed after watching 8 Out 10 Cats and having a sneaky shower before my parents went to bed XD Think I'll just fit my own shower in my bathroom soon >< Haha! I'm sure its simple enough! I've recently found that buying heels for shoes off of eBay and re-heeling my own shoes is significantly cheaper and actually possible! Haha! Got a large drill with a spinning file bit on it and set up a 'Timpsons' style workbench outside my back door as the rubber goes everywhere! Only took about 15 mins per shoe in the end after i had everything sorted! Tony then took them to timpsons anyway to sneakily get them re-soled as I hadn't got round to that yet >< But amazingly the Timpsons guy actually said they were well done and was surprised I had done it myself! Well Chuffed :D ... So this is is me in the future XD:

KAT mentioned this already but I'd like to put my rendition of our night stargazing, about a month ago now... What a night! Staying up until 11pm, holding hands, talking and watching the Perseids meteor shower, actually at it's peak for the entire year with a clear sky to watch it all! So many shooting stars streaking across the sky and fading away. I unfortunately didn't remember to make any wishes... but to be honest, I have everything I could ever want, and that night was the perfect start to our relationship together. She gave me a bracelet she brought back from Barcelona while on her cruise... And after struggling to put it on in the pitch black and under the covers of a duvet to keep warm I have barely taken it off since! 

SO the moral of this story: Re-heal your own shoes - it's cheaper
