My weekend and a christening part 3...meal with a footballer

0Hi lovelies,
This is the last part about the christening weekend :-)
As I mentioned in part 2 the party finished quite early so L and I decided to go out for a meal. His footballer cousin (I will call him j for this) asked if he could come too as he didn't want to go home but also couldn't stay out all night as his wife would shout at him so the best thing to do was spend time with us. I have already mentioned that he is one of the nicest people I have ever met and one of the nicest in that family.
He had the car with him (a proper flashy number, i was suitably impressed) so he drove and decided to go the docks. We went to gusto's and sat outside as it was so sunny and honestly it was gorgeous. The sun was shining on us and we were right by the river/dock, it was fab.
I had bruscetta with tomato and avocado for starters which was lush, L shared and although he said he liked it he admitted to me later that he didn't,  and we both had carbonara which is the nicest I've ever had and I almost always order that if it's on the menu everywhere I go. J had a salad as he was training but then he ordered dessert! I had homemade doughnuts with chocolate sauce and cream and oh my world they were to die for! J wasn't impressed with his dessert so I shared mine with both of them.
Everything about the meal was amazing, including the service. It is one of the nicest places I have been to in Liverpool and I didn't even know it was there.
J wore sunglasses throughout the whole meal which was odd!
He also did the whole 'I'm just going to the toilet' thing when he was actually paying the bill, I didn't even realise what he had done but we are paying next time! We have been invited to his new house over the summer to stay with him and his wife and baby which will be fab!

After the meal he went home and L and I went back to the hotel, we were going to go to the cinema but L fell asleep while waiting for me so we just watched TV in the room instead...boring aren't we!!
Early in the morning I drove him to various family members houses to drop beer and stuff off and there was very nearly a divorce when he messed up directions again!! Who tells someone to get in the right lane then as soon as there is loads of cars in the left lane say oh you should be in that one actually, then when I manage to squeeze into that lane then admits that they are lost!! Annoying. But we managed to get everywhere we needed to be and he left me in the car while he went on for a cuppa a few times so I caught up on the you tubers I like to watch.
We went to Kirkby to see his uncle who was poorly and to pick up the rest of his clothes, then we went to maccies and drove home.
I got stuck in traffic but it wasn't too bad, although L kept telling me to come off at the wrong exits and as I don't know the way I just believed him.  So stressful.
But all in all it was a fab trip.
