Skipped The Swim

Skiving off an evening swim because the water would be cold was the worst excuse we could come up with. But the full day of rain did justify it a teeny bit.

We were not too interested in shopping. But we had stuff to stock up on at the supermarket. So it was grocery shopping at Meidi-ya and plenty of silly giggling over the wide range of salad dressing available.

Then, we decided to fill the stomach with a terribly decadent dinner at Bontá. The restaurant is celebrating its 2nd anniversary and would have 30% off all wines by the bottle and a la carte food orders till May 2009. Since I eat there at least twice a week, the discounts are fabulous to me.

Tonight, there was aglio olio tossed with black truffle and topped with shaved slices. We were sold. Add another lobster aglio olio to it, we overloaded on carbs. We went the full works of appetizer to dessert and coffee.

The evening was fun this way too! We decided that since the girlfriend would hit the gym in the morning, and I, to a pilates session, it was all good and not horribly guilty. We'd hit more cardio separately later in the week.

Anyway, V, decaf works. After watching a slew of brainless tv programmes and The Jane Austen Book Club, I'm feeling sleepy now.
