Afternoon folks
Be safe on this, the next step to normality

Hi Slim I hope your day is going well . Don’t worry , I don’t intend doing anything different for at least a couple of weeks , until we get a handle on this Indian variant , and I see what the results are of the lockdown easing are , and all those stupid people queuing to get into a pub or on a plane !

India are reporting 100,000 cases per day atm.........but then their population is vastly greater than ours & their vaccine programme hasn't been as successful<<<<<< I'm hoping ours will lead to less of a backlash with social distancing being relaxed ..fingers crossed

Have to walk through the antique centre to sit in the cafe....
Bought my daughter a lovely enamelled Liberty bracelet

Hi Slim It sounds like you’ve had a lovely day ….and your lucky daughter. Were there many people about ?

Hey Baz
There was an elderly couple sat in when we arrived....another took their seats when they left.
I was the only one looking around the antiques..........the quay in general was fairly quiet, but then it was piddling down.

Still had a queue outside the Puerto Lounge though ..mainly younger couples & children

Stopped by the quay shop for a bottle of Merlot....my sister reminded me it is her husbands b'day today...I had forgotten

I’m sure a bottle of Merlot will suffice. It was Mr Bs favourite red wine .

My husband always said a Chilean red was the best (which the Merlot was)

Am not a wine drinker ....I have sometimes cooked with it, but am not keen tbh

I used enjoy a glass of wine ….but sadly I have to be a bit careful these days .
