An evening five

Heading for bed after a proper family evening in.  This involved a bit of bickering, some laughter and funny dances and take away pizza.  We also watched a fascinating science programme about the entire process of making a vinyl record.  Who says I don't live an exciting life!

The delight of the occasional take away meal should be celebrated.  Here in Egypt they deliver big time, food from the local shops, water, even bills by hand, so we thought we would try pizza.  It arrived from Maison Thomas, and was delicious and hot.  

So here's my reasons to love Thursday night takeaways  .....

1. You can try dishes you would not attempt at home
2. The delight of having lots of different things to chose from without having to open a cupboard
3. The family cook/s get a night off from having to plan a meal
4. The kids can be let off washing up duties
5. Much guilty pleasure can be had from the sheer naughtiness of eating cold pizza the morning after the takeaway before.

Before I go, I must come clean and say it is going to take me a lot more time to get used to the weekend starting on Thursday night.  The sheer pleasure of that Friday feeling is so deep with my psyche that it going to take some replacing.  Still when it happens, great positive pleasure will be taken from being able to change, even in a small way.

Good night.
