Out then In

Yesterday we had a lovely evening out. The Gorse Fox and the Silver Vixen drove into Worthing and parked along the sea front. We then strolled along to Casa Ciro, an Italian Restaurant with a good reputation. The Gorse Fox was gob-smacked at how busy it was considering the time was still before six. There must have been at least 60 people in there already when we arrived. The Gorse Fox had booked, so there was no problem getting a table.

The menu was extensive and had something for all tastes. The Gorse Fox and the Silver Vixen both picked from the "a la carte" menu. The Silver Vixen started with a tomato, mozzarella and avocado salad with balsamic dressing. The Gorse Fox had a pate with garlic bread, caramelised onions and salad leaves. It was a very promising start and set us up nicely for the entrees. The Silver Vixen had a Spaghetti Carbonara and the Gorse Fox a Linguine Julia. They were utterly delightful and the linguine is certainly a dish to add to the mental checklist of favourite dishes.

From the restaurant we strolled along to the Pavillion Theatre on the pier. We had tickets too see Dave Gorman's show. We settled into our seats (3rd row, aisle, perfect) and had nearly three hours of excellent, clever, well-constructed humour. He is a thinking-man's comedian. Not smutty at all, which is nice, and his observations are well constructed and intelligent. A very enjoyable evening.

Today has been a bit quiet and we've stayed in. There was, deliberately, nothing scheduled. As a result the Silver Vixen has been pottering with the laundry and the Gorse Fox has been working further on the photos from 1974 and 1975. He did notice, however, that one of the professional dancers from "Strictly" has a show in Worthing next March. A few messages flashed around the Sonning Crew, and tickets have now been acquired for Tinkerbell and the Silver Vixen.
