Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

Well done @Selleri !!

I have one that I started in the Autumn of 2020 and I slid it under the sofa, meaning to do it last Autumn but never did. I do take it out regularly to dust the box off and check for any spiders that may have taken up residence inside the box.

I will finish it this year as I bought a couple more puzzles the other day to also do this Winter....well thats the plan anyway.

 

We will be heading back home tomorrow after our time away in Lincoln. Apart from my trips to Thailand and Vietnam, I have never seen so many fields full of crops. The main roads to Skegness and Boston were closed due to road works, so back lane driving was an experience. I would say my average speed was about 15mph, the roads were narrow and so bumpy I was actually worried about damaging the car, plus if you were to drive to fast you could easily end up in the ditches by the roadside. However, driving so slow made it easier to see the vast fields of crops, onions, cabbage, corn, to many to mention, impressive.

 

We were going to drive over to a restaurant for a celebratory wedding anniversary meal but as the weather was so nice we decided to walk to another favourite one that was local instead.

As it's a day to celebrate us sharing our lives together we opted for a Chicken Sharing Platter.....forgot about taking a pic until we had demolished half if it.... it was delicious!!

 

Looks delicious Upsy. Pleased you had a nice celebration. xx

 

Went for a lovely walk this morning around the lakes and woods opposite our house. It's beautiful but will get even better as the Autumnal colour changes really take hold.

 

Lovely walk Upsy. We met our UK visitors at Clube Nautico on the Arade River in Silves, T'other Half always gets good shots of eyes closed or whatever ...

 

That's a lovely ' action' shot Vicky!!

What fabulously artistic fingers you have!!

 

What was on the menu Vicky?

 

Thanks Upsy. It was both Ian and Kay's birthday yesterday ... He was 68 she 63 so this was our treat for them.

 

Oh, Ian had Black Pork from Alentejo, Kay had Octopus, Jim had Bacalau a Bras (a Salt Cod dish rather like Kegeree) and I had a few chips as I sadly have no appetite with the medication.

 

I would have had grilled chicken.

 

Off to town to meet up with a friend and then we're going on to the cinema this afternoon to see 'Mrs Harris Goes To Paris ' in these ' gloomy new's only ' times we thought a drama comedy was just the medicine!

 

Very enjoyable film yesterday. Planned our next 2 cinema trips.

 

• Looking for Richard

Interesting read of the events leading to King Richard's remains being found.

 

Started yesterday off with brunch with 2 of our brood + 1 girlfriend.

We ate outside in the restaurant 's little courtyard ,sitting under a Vine which had bunches of grapes on it too.

We ordered a great selection and all shared . Washed down with Mimosa and coffee.

We then walked around the markets and found a great plant stall, shame we couldn't carry any home. Son and girlfriend bought quite a few!

We then walked a little way down the river near son's apartment.

We had a Turkish meal in the evening. Yummy.
