There are sweet words on a night out which are a pleasure to hear. Perhaps the whisper of your loved one telling you how they feel. Possibly one of your dining partners saying they don't really like langoustine and could you finish their portion. But, above all, your host saying: "There's the grappa, I'll leave it on the table".
It was one of those nights on Thursday. A table for 12, some good friends down from Glasgow and a lot of old pals round a table. A mix of stupid football talk, memories of nights gone by and crude humour. A perfect combination - I am sure you would agree.
When the bottle landed on the table, it knew it was being consigned to history. With a dozen grappa drinkers round about what did you expect? All credit to our host for sacrificing a bottle to us. Although work was a bit slow the following day...

One of the best Giovedis in a long time. I was glad I'd made the trip.
Must try to fit in another one soon to blow away the January/February blues.
You are always welcome down these parts old boy. Indeed, it would be a project to look forward too.
It's always nice when the digestivi are left on the table. Mmmmm...

First Monday back at work today so obviously my thoughts turned to a night out almost immediately. First thoughts on looking at the calendar was Giovedi 21st Feb but I can be flexible as I've still got 4 days leave up until the end of March.
* You speak the truth.

It looks like end of February would be good, also hope to get up and see you some time...
Excellent. I can do either the 21st or 28th. Just let me know if either suits you better.
