Dave &amp; Lucie moved in last week and it was a double celebration of Dave's birthday and their house warming.

We had a meal out at the <a title="Red Lion Market Rasen" href="http://www.marketrasenmail.co.uk/what-s-on/arts-leisure/a-taste-of-italy-comes-to-rasen-as-red-lion-reopens-1-5755163" target="_blank">Red Lion in Market Rasen</a> followed by coffee in the new house. The Red Lion is an Italian themed restaurant but there were several things that were annoying: Jane was supposed to get a tagliatelle salad but it was spaghetti and there wasn't much salad; I asked for <strong>no</strong> cheese on my spaghetti meat balls but it came with cheese on top; Dave's sea bass was a decidedly small portion; and Nick wanted a rare steak but it was more medium than rare. As always when we were asked if everything was ok we said it was fine.

The main point was we were all together again and having fun.
