Eating out
Laura and Rebecca were staying overnight with friends last night and Caroline had returned from a busy day up the coast with a friend and her family on the water doing various activities, so Sue and I decided to try the local Thai restaurant in Forestville (attractively named Thai Garlic!).

This was a 20 minute walk away and the evening was cooler after a hot start to the day. We had tried a Thai restaurant near Rebecca's school before Christmas but hadn't been that impressed, but this one was lovely - wonderful flavours and large helpings, plus a very reasonable price as this was also a BYO, so we had taken a bottle of wine along.

The restaurant was quite small, with some tables outside as well, but it always seems popular and was practically full when we arrived at 8pm. It seems that most people eat out early here, so that by 9.30 we were one of the last tables to leave. The streets are quite dark around here at night but it was good to walk off the meal! This could become a regular....
