It has seemed a long tedious week with more frustrations than solutions. To give you just one example: my new computer has fits when the mouse cursor darts about like a mad thing and I have to reboot to cure it. On Thursday morning it played up again so I quickly shoved it in a bag and took it to Curry’s where I bought it. Guess what happened next: yep, at Curry’s it behaved perfectly and refused to show the fault. All they could suggest was that next time it misbehaves I should video it so they have something to go on.

To celebrate the end of a week that has been equally tedious for both of us, we decided to have supper out. We chose Wagamama in Angel Central as our venue.

Accordingly, I met Tigger off a 205 bus at the clock tower and we walked through a busy High Street on our way to Angel Central.

We made our way to the upper level of Angel Central and found Wagamama very busy. This restaurant is very popular and, in fact, there was a queue at the door. We joined it, uncertain how long we would have to wait to be admitted.

Quite crowded

We were admitted eventually and shown to a table in the crowded restaurant.

No duck donburi

We both chose the same Vegan dish, called “No duck donburi”. What looks like an egg in the middle isn’t an actual egg but a looky-likey made of vegetable matter. And yes, I am not too proud to ask for a fork rather than let the food go cold while I struggle with chopsticks.

When it came to paying the bill, I noticed that this contained only the cost of the items we had consumed: there was no service charge – almost unheard of in today’s world. Instead, we left them a tip on the table.

That was a pleasant end to a tedious week and I am hoping that the weekend will have more such pleasures in store.
