Visiting my parents and Sophie's Choice

11.07.00pm GMT Fri 25th Nov 2005

This evening I took my parents and Alex out for a meal at Sophie's Choice in Sidcup to celebrate their birthdays. My father's birthday was just over a week ago and my mother's birthday in just over a weeks time, so almost perfect timing.

It was good to see them , I hadn't seen them since they came to visit my new house a little while ago. Sophie's Choice was a good restaurant which they had been to before, just a shame they overcharged me by putting an extra bottle on wine on the bill - which I didn't notice until after leaving the restaurant - teach me not to check properly.
