Do you like brenniven?

Went out with the driving test taker again last night. She said it was her birthday, but I'm convinced that she has actually come to realise that when she leaves the Concrete Kingdom she will really miss it, so she's trying to get out as much as possible. Can't say as I blame her; a night in Swindon truly is worth seven in any other town.

Or she could just be glad to be escaping . . .

Went to Wrongs for a warm-up drink, and then had a meal in Gaetano's. 18 people round the table, which is quite good going for someone who's only been in town 6 months. Andy and Jen, Shameful and The Girl I See on the Stairs, the French girl, and 10 or so others.

I had prawns on a pizza for the first time. It was good.

Went back to the flat afterwards and had more of the Icelandic schnaps. Seems to be that only Andy and I actually like it, as everyone else has been unimpressed (particularly Jen).
