And I had the first 2 taxi journeys of today to Queen St, to the same place as I bought Ruth lunch last week. Today on the specials menu there was a vegetarian tart, which I wanted to eat but wanted one in so many ways too. 1/4 of the way into lunch Ruth's boss phoned her and she had to leave almost immediately, so I sat by myself and finished lunch. I asked if they had the spare sugar tubes that they said they would order for me, they said yes and produced an enormous box, containing 1000. I said "Erm.... can I sell you some" and they gave me a quarter of them for a quarter of the price, I said "Can I pay you for half as you have been so helpful etc", they said "Thanks" and accepted.
So I say that Ruth briefly but we had about 1 sentence each before she left
obAND Ruths daughter is MCing tonight at the Folk Club
