Birthday Lunch at Salle a Manger

Pleasant birthday lunch at the local Tunisian restaurant 'Salle a Manager' with Janet,Laurie,Leanne,Judy,Helen,Jessica,Kaithe,Kristian,Dorra,and Anne Marie.Five of us had the menu du jour with 'the taglitelle avec crevettes 'getting an average of a rating of 7/10 but Dorra gave it a 10 ,the pasta wasn't bad but lacked flavour.Janet got fed up waiting for dessert and left early but just as she left the waiter brought my sorbet topped with a lit sparkler and candle with a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' from everyone.Suddenly my phone rang, it was Janet calling to see if the dessert had arrived.Five minutes later she came back but the sorbet had almost melted away.Kristian seemed preoccupied,he hadn't actually wished me 'Happy Birthday'.
