Wednesday 13th June - date night

It rained all day today...again. Work was OK...i got my pay for the month which came in at 20,000AUD...after tax....i think i have some tax return money in there...either way, i was stoked! I have put a deposit down on my horse box...am sooo excited! Spoke to the guy whose going to be making it and we talked through all the extras I'm having added on...its going to look amazing! It will take 3 months to make so i thought id get the order in now so its ready for when i come back.

I rode Angie after work as i only had a half day...she is soooo gorgeous. Love her to bits!

Gaz and i went out for date night this evening. It was my turn to decide where we were to go. We went to an italian restaurant called marcos. When we arrived just before 6pm, there was a table of 15 guys who had just ordered and the rest of the restaurant was empty. We waited ages to have our drinks order taken. Gaz asked the waitress what vegetables came with the food...she didn't know. I was tossing up the decision between the lamb shanks or the duck with 'polenta'. i didn't know what polenta was...according to the waitress it was cheese. We waited over half hour for our startes which was stale bread and a load of oil and gone off balsamic vinegar. By this time, the restaurant was full with only one waitress. She was bloody useless! very slow and dopey. Some beeping noise was going on for about 15 minutes before someone asked her to turn it off. The food finally came and was awful! The polenta was not cheese but a corn type thing...tasted burnt to me! We called the waitress over and i said 'sorry i thought you said this was cheese?'....she said 'oh yes i did, i was confused'...i said well how about you give us some more potatoes then! The veg was undercooked and she had taken the order down wrong so only given one portion of potatoes. It was very poor. The meal with 2 drinks each came to 88AUD....you would expect it to be better than that for that price!!! no one else had had their food by the time we left...and people were getting restless. It was very disappointing and we won't be going back there again! Gaz has banned me from choosing restaurants in the future.
