Tonight (Friday) I'm going out in Leicester with the lovely L (oh, and a group of her friends too).

Shame, as I reckon there's a bit of interest there, and a lot of interest from me.



And then tomorrow, I'm going out for dinner with her to talk about it. She thinks we're going out for a quick dinner in town, but I'm making one final, noble, doomed romantic gesture in an attempt to woo her and I've booked us in to a posh hotel and restaurant in Marlow for the night. The plan being something like "a similar ploy works in the movies".
