FRIDAY 05 OCT DAY 10
Just sort of chilled around the pool and villa again as we did not get back til 1 am last night. I pottered around and hubby had to go to the Ford garage to pick up some parts for our American car back home so I just did my thing around the villa as we were out that evening also. . . . . . . . . 6 in a row so it’s been a really week hectic!
We had a Subway for lunch from the store at Champions Gate. (I have to say the cooker has not been on this trip once which is very very rare indeed but being out every night and eating healthy cereal for breakfast there was no need).
That night I had organised a villa owners meet at the Cheesecake Factory for that evening at the Mall of Millennia. We had originally gone down to the Mall before everyone else to get ahead on the waiting list but it didn’t quite work out as planned and as they had told me one thing and did another but we got there in the end and seated everyone after about 40 minutes waiting which is normal on a Friday evening especially on the first Friday of each month when the Mall puts on an event with live music and catering, it's called First Fridays funnily enough.
We even managed a full house with 22 of us and had a great night and nice to meet new and “old” faces. Lots of lovely food and drink was devoured. I was boring and had my usual Shepherds Pie as did hubby, no cheesecake for me but hubby managed 80% of a Key Lime Cheesecake. This is one of my favs but I resisted and came away with half my Shepherds Pie in a box, it is so filling and the portions are so big!
I wasn’t the only one with a doggy bag, although one naughty lady in the party wasted half her main meal so she could have Cheesecake, no there is a plan!
If you fancy a cocktail and like sweet drinks you should try the Strawberry Martini, I was undecided if I liked it but decided to have another one just to make sure!
We left the Cheesecake Factory quite late and didn’t get home til after 11 pm so just fell into bed exhausted again as it really had been a hectic week.
