20190531 The Elephant and Steven ter Horst

 It was a quiet night for the Friday Night Crowd tonight. Chad was with his nephew for his 50th footy game and Richard was in Sydney. Stephen, Con and I met at the Elephant which was very busy.

I talked to Con about the 3 movies he had given us. 14 Blades, Shadow and a Fantasy After-Life Japanese movie. I enjoyed the first two movies but couldn't get my head around the third one. Even so, I have asked Con for more movies.

It was hard to hear in the Elephant tonight. There were alot of noisy people chattering away. Con had a cold and had a husky voice which made it harder to hear.

Stephen talked about his operation this week at the RAH - all the gory details. Thankfully, he's not in so much pain today and is feeling himself. He talked about his interview at an agency yesterday for a Data Expert. He doesn't think he's going to be put forward for the role.

It was Stephen's choice where to eat tonight. He wanted to go to the Belgium Beer Cafe but knew that Chad liked it so decided to leave it for another day. We talked about a few alternatives, but ended up thinking that the Elephant was probably the best bet. It was cold outside and we didn't want to be traipsing around the streets in the cold.

Con had fish and chips with coleslaw. I had grilled fish and chips with mushy peas and mushroom gravy and Stephen had Chicken Schnitzel with pepper sauce and extra veggies. There was a mix up with the gravies and only the mushroom gravy got delivered (which Stephen accidently used). He ended up talking to the staff and getting 2 fresh gravies for us. All good in the end. Con gave his meal a 6 - he didn't eat much of the coleslaw. Stephen and I gave our meals a 7 out of 10. It could have been a lot worse I guess. Standard pub fare.

Stephen choose to go to Steven ter Horst for that delicious hot chocolate. Con and I had a cup of hot chocolate and Stephen had the mug. It was a much quieter environment and I could finally hear what Con was saying.

We had it all wrapped up by 7.30 and were giving Con a lift home. A quick night out tonight. Stephen and I will be preparing early for tomorrow's blitz of Game of Thrones!!
