purplesea Posted October 3, 2021 #25932 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just having a read through all the posts and catching up after having been at work all day. It was a quiet day at work and the weather has been a real mixture of sunshine, drizzle and heavy rain. We even had a bit of hail and thunder thrown in. Chilling now with some wine after having cooked dinner, clearing up can wait until tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted October 3, 2021 #25935 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We tend to avoid chain restaurants, with 2 exceptions Zizzi’s which my wife likes as it has good gluten free options, we had a few takeaways from then via Just Eat during the restrictions in the spring. The other exception is Cote Brasserie where we can enjoy some of our favourite French Dishes. Otherwise we will utilise local restaurants and pub restaurants that are locally owned and run, of which we have a few all providing good food. During lockdown we have rediscovered the joy of cooking for ourselves and are working our way through the plethora of cookery books we have on the bookshelf in our kitchen, adapting some of them as a gluten free option, so going out for meals is once again a treat rather than a regular occurrence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us too. We frequent a couple of local family run pubs, and like to support the local community. I have to say that as a bloke, I have been happily cooking meals for my wife and I for the last 40 years. Graham's meal is obviously pre-prepared, no fresh veg, and bought in beef that is over cooked. I could do better for £10 !

Josy1953 Posted October 4, 2021 #25938 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I should be spending today packing for our cruise that we have had to cancel so I am not in the best of moods 😡 On the plus side it is a lovely morning here, blue skies with just wisps of cloud but only 48° C.

Just under 9c. I admit to switching between both. The two key numbers that i tend to rely on are 16c = 61f and 28c = 82f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted October 4, 2021 #25942 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It is 10°C and cloudy here this morning. I hope everyone has a nice day. I hope @kalos is okay as I have not seen his good humour posts for a while. Graham. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted October 4, 2021 #25943 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Went to watch the new James Bond film last night in Leicester It was really excellent. Very different from a normal Bond film. Had a chain meal before but it's different to most chain restaurants Turtle Bay - tasty Caribbean food and cocktails. Worth trying if you miss the Caribbean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here Josy. I should be getting things sorted now for our months cruise that should be on Saturday. We're going for our flu jabs instead, not much difference😏 On the plus side though, only 52 weeks until our cruise🤞 Avril Edited October 4, 2021 by Adawn47 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked through other threads, but I can't find a post anywhere. Eglesbrech too, she wasn't well when she last posted, didn't reply to a post the following day when I asked how she was doing and no postings since.

How disappointing for you and obviously worrying for you as you wait the result of your biopsy.I do hope that the result is negative and that you can book another cruise soon.Take Care 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted October 4, 2021 #25949 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It was a bit parky here first thing, 9oC when we went for breakfast at 08:15, a more pleasant 14oC now with sun. We had a nice week in Isle of Wight travelling around the island, they looked to be loading up Ventura when we passed on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted October 4, 2021 #25950 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Quite a mild day down here at 13oC, the sun has been shining but it seems to be clouding over now, but rain was forecast. Got today and tomorrow off work, so meeting a friend later for a catch up and a coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
