Diane went to London by Diane and her friends ate

Friend: I tried to phone you yesterday.
Diane: Oh, sorry. I was busy all day and then I went to London in the evening for a meal with some friends.
Friend: Did you take your car?
Diane: I left it at home. Parking’s such a problem. But the underground was closed for repairs so I had to take the bus. It was quite slow.
Friend: Did you go to your favourite Spanish restaurant?
Diane: I was hoping to try some Mexican food but my friends booked a table in a Chinese place.
Friend: Was it expensive?
Diane: Quite cheap actually, and the food was very good — but it’s only a small restaurant so a lot of people had to wait for tables — and it was quite noisy.
Friend: You didn’t stay there and talk afterwards then!
Diane: We went for a walk along the river. It was too late for the cinema.
Friend: Didn’t you get wet? It reined here all evening.
Diane: The wind was very cold but it stayed dry.
Friend: And then it snowed during the night!
Diane: That was after I got home. But I had a really good evening!
