It was pointed out to me that the email subscribe function was not working. Indeed it was not, and cannot have worked for well over a year.
Should all be fixed now, so hoping to see lots of subscriptions to the mail list now.
Due to circumstances, like the fridge not working we were destined for supper at the P&A. Yes as soon as Rosemary came home on the Monday, she asked why was the fridge not working. Didn’t you notice it was 20 Celsius inside the fridge and what about that horrible smell. I said no, and then related my coffee saga. So out with most of the contents.
So the P&A for a few beers, and then a trial of their new menu. We have not eaten at the P&A since the new lower cost menu has been in place. We went for the standard menu and had a starter and the main course. Rosemary enjoyed her Thai fish cakes, while I ate some mussels. The mussels and the sauce where definitely up in the much better than average ratings. The sauce had a hint of chili, but was also a creamy sauce. Um it was very yummy. Much better than the Edinburgh Mussel and Steak on the Grass Market.
Main course we both had the same, BBQ ribs. I had been tempted by the pasta dishes. The BBQ ribs are the P&A signature dish, and they are massive. The meat fell of the bones, was a massive amount, very filling and very enjoyable. Yep I reckon the P&A is back on track.
Rosemary was away for the weekend. She went away on some girly get together with her mates from school. This left me to my own devices. Alas the sun did not shine much, and there was definite rain during the days, the net result was no lawn mowing and much time spent on the PC upstairs. I turned all my CDs into MP3s. Yes yet again. There had been some problems with the previous rips of the Ramstein albums. Must check the new rips are better.
Had a cup of Cappuccino on Sunday morning, was slightly impressed by the solidness of the froth I produced. It was almost the constituency of expanded polystyrene when it floated on the coffee. Next coffee I approached the milk with a little more trepidation. Decided the milk was off, put it back in the fridge as it was a long way before its expiry date. I was sure Rosemary would want to take in back to Tesco and claim her refund.
Saturday evening was in the pub with George and Annie. Sunday late evening was in the pub on my own with the fabulous staff. The Georgian girl was finding it hard, stuck out in the sticks, no transport, living on the premises.
Spent the a week in Edinburgh. On Thursday had an evening in Whistle Binkies where I managed to watch three bands play. Managed to get some photographs of them as well. The bands of course were all rock bands and played some excellent music. music.
