The NERDS met up at The Steamworks in Seaford - at least Lafayette, Froggy and Sandyballs
did. Laf. got a panicky call from Paco whose alarm
had failed to go off and was worried we would be going somewhere from the Steamworks and leaving him behind. ( Ferries, Newhaven, not quite making it, remember?)
Anyway, no chance, we hadn't even started properly drinking by that time; so we started doing that and expected to see Paco in his pyjamas and dressing
gown in due course. Hooray! he turned up at last.
Pints were consumed,
Paco, Frog and S.B. talked about football while a bored Laf picked his nose and filed his nails.
Froggy related his latest tragedy of losing his bank card and we all blamed Shirley Deans for having stolen it the other night to fund her goodbye do.
Eventually the noise level levelled out and we decided to try the new faux italian restaurant miles away in the centre of Seaford. Someone must have been there to recommend the Pablo Picasso
(named after the famous italian housepainter) but nobody could remember who, so we went in anyway.
It was spacious, light, welcoming, warm and with a very extensive menu.
We all found the Malbec of excellent quality and drank a lot of it.
The food was really good too and there appeared to be at least six identically dressed waitresses available at our beck and call. God knows how Froggy
paid for his meal without his bank card but he did. Maybe he got a loan off Shirley or something.
So this new Salvador Dali place, where Barclays bank used to be in Seaford was rated as NERDS approved for just about everything. We may even go back there and see if Santa Claus does a Christmas dinner later in the year.
All for now. Enjoy your hols, Brian, and come back in one piece.
Lafayette.
