I took my wife out for a romantic dinner on Saturday night.  Now the last time I tried to rekindle the romance… I chose the wrong dvd, got it all wrong and did anything but spark romance… so I was a bit nervous about the whole evening.

We usually go to one or two of our favorite, tried and tested restaurants.  Thing is that it is getting a little boring, we are starting to know the menus backwards and I know what I want to eat before we have even arrived at the place – where’s the fun in that?… variety is the spice of life they say!

So I decided to surprise her, I got hold of a restaurant guide, had a flip through and on the recomendation of the guide, I made my choice… secretly I was as nervous as anything… very silly really.. am not sure why, perhaps it was because I wanted it to be a really special evening…

Anyway, as nervous as a spotty teenager on a first date, off we go on our dinner date… Ended up having a great time!  So perhaps variety is the spice of life…
