Going Green

I have decided I am now too old for candlelit dinners. No use whispering sweet nothings. As the wine goes down the volume goes up! I have dined out three times in the past few weeks. Each time in delightful company and with good food but the restaurants were lit almost entirely by candlelight. After I had stumbled my way to the table I had to ask my neighbour to read the menu. When the food arrived I couldn't see what was on the plate. I am all for conserving energy but this was ridiculous. I wished I had brought a torch!
