Strange brew

It has been a different day. GF allowed the body to wake normally today and then strolled through the rain to the Starfleet office where he settled down for a fun day. There were presentations to prepare, documents to develop, and a workshop in which to participate.

GF decided to eat at Picolino. Seemed like a bright idea at the time, particularly as GF had a voucher. The food was, as usual excellent. However, they were very busy and GF was beginning to get frustrated waiting for his main course to arrive. Several couples had received theirs even though ordering after your patient GF. The manageress struck up a coversation and sat down at the table next to GF. "I thought I'd join you" she said. GF responded that he hoped her meal turned up quicker than his had.

At this point she spun into action and rushed to the counter. A few minutes later he was enjoying his spaghetti with gamberoni and a glass of merlot. She could not have been more attentive. Her reaction rescued the evening and GF left, contented.
