Last night we went to meet one of Steve's friends Colin and his long suffering wife Michelle at Acapulco Mexican restaurant. When we arrived, they were already there with a few of Colin's workmates. I really like Michelle, but I am not sure about Colin yet. I have only spent time with them on a couple of ocassions, but I think he can be a bit of a moron at times. Case in point - When he introduced us to his friends. He said, "Oh and this is Steve and his "wife". When he said it, his voice was dripping with sarcasm. While I expect people to wonder about the age gap, I certainly don't expect Steve's friends to highlight it when introducing us to people we don't even know. It's none of their business, you rude bastard, and it's certainly not your place to mention it. Either introduce us in a respectful way, or let us introduce ourselves. I have also noticed that, on ocassions, he'll also make a point of drawing attention to Michelle's weight. Ok, she is very overweight, but to embarass her like that is just cruel. It probably needs to be discussed, but sensitively, and certainly not in front of other people... Anyway, I was pissed off and would have said something to him about it, but I didn't want to make a scene. He'd better not ever do it again though!

When I've been to Acapulco's before, the food and service has been fine. However, this time, the food would have been fine, but the service was terrible. We waited half an hour for drinks and when our food came, (we shared the chicken and steak fajita platter) the chicken, steak and fajita mixture came first and then we waited another 20 mins for the tortillas. In that time we had eaten the meat and the mixture to stop it getting cold. :-( To be fair, it wasn't really the waiter's fault. It seemed like he was fairly new and he was only of only a few waitstaff. In a packed restaurant on a Friday night, this just isn't enough...

After we got back from the restaurant - we heard squealing noises outside our bedroom window. Steve went to the window - which he had thankfully shut quickly when he saw what was making the noise. It was two skunks fighting in the backyard! He called me to the window because I had never seen a skunk. We don't have them in the UK. Just as I was walking to the window, I smelled this awful smell. I can't describe it. I took a quick peek and retreated to the living room. Luckily they didn't spray us - just each other. So there you have it. :-) I have now seen a racoon, a skunk and a possum. None of which are present in the UK. I could have possibly done without smelling the skunk though!
