Birthday Part Deux, Part Deux

The aformentioned Tuesday birthday celebration was for myself and my colleague Clark. After a few rounds of "where should we go??" our colleague Mark found this great tapas restaurant called Duk. They were amazing!! There we were a party of 14, Deaf and hearing, signing away and they were incredible. They basically said, how much do you want to pay per head (we said £10), is there stuff we should avoid (a few people we not fond of fish so they chose from the veg and meat sections). The waiter then took our drinks order and then the food kept coming! Instead of bringing small plates, they brought 2-3 dishes of everything (let's see, mushrooms in a garlic cream, 'sticky, spicy chicken', pork with tomatoes and on and on).

The team got a cake (seen in previous pic, and Mr. A, it was not marzipan, but a Madeira cake with an apricot filling and butter cream frosting YUM!)) and the owner of the restaurant gave Clark and I each a glass of Champagne with a strawberry (see below). It was a really nice night out; got to meet some people on the team I had not yet met as well as re-establish ties with people a know. A truly great way to spend a birthday!

People asked Clark and I how old were were, we said "21", see:

Not sure what Clark and I were chatting about here, American Football goal posts? Doors Opening? My world-famous Evita impersonation? No idea...
