American Classics at Pinecrest Diner

Going to the Pinecrest Diner while in San Francisco for work, is something that basically every person in the area, going to GDC, does. The diner is open 24 hours, making it perfect for the first day you wake up, jet lagged, wanting both breakfast and lunch items all at once. It reminds me of everything that I love about America. Customising meals, unlimited refills on drinks, and a very simplistic looking place that has everything you want in it. Dann and I went right after we woke up, around 7:30 am local time (2:30 pm in England), so we were both rather hungry.

Seeing it all in Spy Guy Fantasy

[Ad- gifted products] I feel like Spy Guy Fantasy is the perfect version of Spy Guy for our family. We took this tabletop game to our bi-weekly Geek Retreat board game night, where we spread it out onto the table. Amelia and Robin commented on how our board games have been on the longer side physically lately, taking up more and more of the table. This game was another that took up a big spread, with each of us sitting around it.

A Birthday Dinner at Burger and Lobster Restaurant

Dann and I went to our friend Oscar’s Birthday Party at the restaurant Burger and Lobster. Dann and I aren’t fans of burgers or lobster, and with a name like this, we weren’t really sure what we were going to eat! Excited to celebrate with our friend, however, we headed there. It was actually an extremely busy day for us, so we arrived about five minutes late. There are a few different locations, so when I entered the one we were meant to be at and the manager said we were at the wrong place, that we needed to take a train, I really thought I had messed up, until he saw I was actually getting flustered and said he was kidding, offering to get us a drink. This manager had a lot of personality!

Air Square – Long Range Frisbee

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve tested a few different types of frisbees in our time, so we were pretty excited to see a new frisbee in time for the summer weather! We often spend time in our town centre and at the beach, so we often have a small number of toys that we carry around in the car, just in case we want to play. The Air Square is a new contender, so we took it to the town centre to see if it was really as good as the packaging said.

Lunch at Fireway Pizza in Harlow

We don’t often do lunch out, but on a particularly busy weekday, Dann and I were running errands in our local town center and decided to go for lunch at Fireway Pizza, who have a quite affordable lunch deal that essentially cuts the price of the pizzas in half, while keeping them the same shape. We both were up for pizza, so went in, as we never had actually ordered from here before.

Fireway Pizza is actually a chain that you can find around London and the few towns that are considered Greater London, though they started as one shop in 2016. Their pizzas are fired in a proper wood-fired oven, with fresh ingredients, which really makes a difference. The actual venue is very clean and well lit, with the pizzas being made right behind the glass counter, so you can see them. A lot of fast food places often feel less clean than this one, which is always a plus. Dann and I both got pizzas and a dessert.
