Thursday 24th August 2023

Last day at work for the week, before a four day weekend, and heavy storms forecast, which we have heard about all summer and none have really arrived.

We did have heavy rain, and some flashes of lightning, rumbles of thunder, and it got so dark I had to have the table lamp on.

Other than that, work was OK. I made a stand, spoke my mind and people listened, which is always a surprise, as someone who has a degree in squit generally can switch to quality expert mode when meetings start, which is just as well, really.

Not dinner to prepare as we were going out!

Only a four day week this week, and a week which we rounded off having a slap up meal at Dino's on Castle Street with our friends Sean and Ang.

What was the occasion?

Well, a one of the four of us was about to celebrate their birthday, so it seemed better to have other to celebrate it with.

So, just mains and desserts for us, spicy Italian sausage spaghetti followed by cheese and crackers for me, all washed down by a bottle of Brunello 2014.

Lovely indeed.
