So are we anywhere near making a decision or are we all being so polite, sensitive and empathetic that we shall continue to dither until October? grin

Loving the sea bass at The Living Room [drool]!!!!

littenellie tapas are yummy aren't they! Pity you can't get up to N'castle sad

I doubt that there will be a shortage of nattering. grin

glassortwo Fri 17-Aug-12 09:38:54

Well I am easy I will go with the majority, as long as we can have a natter I dont care what I eat grin

absentgrana Fri 17-Aug-12 09:37:19

As you know glass tapas goes down well with me. I also thought that The Living Room offered a good range of light and more substantial meals at fairly reasonable prices and so too did Malmaison although the choice is more limited. I'm happy to go with a majority decision.

Oooh tapas envy smile

moomin Fri 17-Aug-12 08:52:16

Thanks for the reminder glass, the tapas bar looks good - something light for lunch? Also (assuming it's not raining and/or howling gale off the Tyne) it's in a nice spot - but I'm happy to go with the flow smile

absentgrana Thu 16-Aug-12 10:44:48

Oops - meant Geordie (brain atrophy strikes again)

moomin Wed 15-Aug-12 13:31:22

Over to you glass as I'm not a native Georgie wink and not too familiar with eating places!

absentgrana Wed 15-Aug-12 13:26:44

This sounds promising. Now all we need to do is decide where we shall meet, at what time we shall meet and where we shall have lunch. Over to those of you more familiar with Newcastle than I am, although I do know that the riverside is nice.

glassortwo Wed 15-Aug-12 08:45:57

moomin that's great as we wont be meeting till after 12 I would imagine by the time absent get her train through.

moomin Wed 15-Aug-12 08:36:22

glass - have checked with OH and he says no prob for Thursday as far as he is concerned. Yoga finishes at 11 and I'll have to get changed, so could hopefully make it into town sometime after midday.

glassortwo Wed 15-Aug-12 08:19:24

Thats great harri. sunshine

harrigran Tue 14-Aug-12 23:35:47

I could probably manage Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

glassortwo Tue 14-Aug-12 22:42:50

That would be a shame, but we will wait to see what happens when the others see the thread.

moomin Tue 14-Aug-12 22:34:18

Wednesday would probably be good for me - but I am hesitating as our builder starts work on the house on the Monday, so not sure what'll be happening that week at the moment. Feel I can't really commit just yet, so don't let me upset your plans with Absent smile

glassortwo Tue 14-Aug-12 22:20:42

I am flexible from Wed through to the Friday, and I think Absent was free last time I spoke, we could try another day if thats any good for you.

moomin Tue 14-Aug-12 22:11:10

Would love to meet up glass but Thursday is my yoga morning sad

glassortwo Tue 14-Aug-12 20:52:20

Absent & I are meeting for lunch in Newcastle on the 6th September feel free to add your name if you would like to join us.
